An apparatus is provided for converting game port input signals from a game
controller into universal serial bus (USB) port signals. The apparatus
includes an input unit adapted to be connected to the game controller so
as to receive the game port input signals therefrom, an analog-to-digital
converter for receiving analog axis signals of the game port input signals
from the input unit and for converting the analog axis signals into
digital axis signals in a USB interface standard-compliant format, a key
signal converter for receiving key switch signals of the game port input
signals from the input unit and for converting the key switch signals into
digital key switch signals in the USB interface standard-compliant format,
a USB driver for receiving the digital axis signals and the digital key
switch signals and for generating the USB port signals, and an output unit
connected to the USB driver and adapted to provide the USB signals to a
USB port.
