RE: Serial to USB
If that's an XBox 360 controller, I don't know.

However, in the olden days when USB was just starting to appear, my Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro came with a short cable which converted the gameport to a USB 1.1 connection. No additional software was required, and under XP no software is required at all.

I have a funny feeling that finding one of these adaptors may be quite hard these days... I saw one on Maplin, but it didn't support 8 buttons or force-feedback or anything...
