Answer 4

well there are adapters, and technically a joystick is a serial adapter it is not classified as that as most serial adapters are 9 or 25 pin.

but you need one of these, http://www.monstronix.com/f3u20008inch-p-69050.html they will let you do what you want. Might be cheaper though to buy a new joystick.

Answer 5

Either an adapter piece, or a PCI card with the 15pin port that you need.

Answer 6

He necesitado un joystick especial para la consola y porque el joystick que compre en los sitios web, para el ordenador, ha sido tan bueno, para la consola también lo compre de sitios web, el joystick ha merecido todo el dinero, que no ha sido mucho, funciona muy bien, tiene una buena precisión y además no se mueve en el juego, seguramente una compra excelente.
