Playing SM w/ Pad

[Godel]

So what's the best way to go about doing this? I have 2 pads compatible with PS2/Xbox/Game Cube.

What would be the best way to go about making them work with my step mania? Should I buy a PS2/Xbox/GCN to compueter converter, or just buy new pads that already have PC (probably USB) cord?

I have the one inch xbox pad that works 100% perfectly with a Xbox to USB converter I got off ebay.

LPT Port Adapter. Dirt cheap, reliable, and extremely easy to use.

Of course, that's only if you're computer has a LPT port. I know a lot of newer computers and almost all laptops do not.

Thanks for the suggestion Sulfer, but I don't think I have a parallel on my computer

I'll be using USB 2.0 then. My pads have a fork at the end so they can be hooked up to PS2, Xbox, or Gamecube, should I go for a PS2->USB, Xbox->USB, or Gamecube->USB?

Anything but Gamecube->USB
