PSX controllers in the car

I had a thought that I'd share with you all and see what you all think. I was thinking what could i use to control my in-car pc with. It came upon me. A playstation controller.. i have a 2 port psx to usb converter and 2 psx joypads. so i decided to download joymouse and use that to control my pc. I am going to test it out tonight but has anybody else managed to use this control method on a car pc? It would also be handy if you wanna run mame or something like that in the car for the times you get bored you can play some 2 player games.

There are a lot of people that use game console controllers for their emulators. Don't know about using it to control their whole PC.

Nah I have it alls setup and working. I found a freeware version of a Joymouse which basicly emulates a mouse's movements on a joypad. It's a litttle bit more tricky but once you get the hang of it it's pretty good actually. It's much easier with a frontend though but still able to navigate around a Windows XP desktop and explorer.
