What's this connector?

[Vegitto]

I found an old gamepad, but the connector doesn't fit anywhere. I wanna use it, so I thought I could convert the connector to USB. Anyone know the name of this connector?

Or just google usb gameport converter and purchase from a store you've heard of.

That would be a joystick port that could be found on your older sound cards. It would be cheaper ans less time consuming to buy a usb controller then trying to convert this one over.

Hmm, nothing I can do myself?

Heh, I think it'd be even cheaper to sell this thing and buy a new one .

For 30 bucks he can buy a new what ever he's got there in USB.

It's an old joystick connection. It has gone unchanged since the 80s. However ever since USB came out it's been phased out.

just throw an old pci sound card that has a gameport on it , into your computer
