DB9 <> USB Converter

  cronos

   As the supplied joystick seems to have found a way to use a regular
   joystick with USB, I think it would be much cheaper for the developers to
   make a converter for DB9 to USB. I have a few original 9-pin Arcade
   Joysticks by SUZO (with microswitches) that are utterly awesome. So we
   could use the USB joystick supplied to do all the selection and then have
   an awesome joystick in port 2. And maybe swap the existing joystick out
   for another good one for 2-player games.
   I personally feel that a convertor would be much more useful than a
   version of the existing joystick with with microswitches.

   There is another thread where this is discussed. One thing I suggested was
   using a DigiSpark arduino board. They're cheap and have built in
   controller libraries.

   I have seen it used for usb NES controllers, but it should be adaptable.
