After connecting your DDG controller to PC through PS1 to PC adaptor, check if it gets recognized as a gamepad. 2. If it gets recognized, google the application that maps gamepad keys as a keyboard keys. 3. Set it up according to keys used in PC DDG games. 4. Play. The only point it can all fail is no. 1. If it is not getting recognized as a gamepad, you won't be able to do much about it.

I've tried to plug it to my Vista, and it said "Trying to download preset drivers for TAYTO_DEN1 controller" and after a while it said Failed to Install Human Interface Device and that I should contact manufacturer. Well, if noone made the driver we are screwed. If anyone in here can speak Japanese, then there is a hope for us, as I can't google anything that is in Kana. Probably some crazy Japanese fan made it.

So maybe someday someone will write the driver for Type 2, but it is just as possible as the option that Taito will release Densha on the West.

PC games, you have to enable it in settings. As far as I remember there are 2 types of controllers in settings except keyboard. Maybe it'll work for you.

I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to get a controller with a Playstation connector to work via a USB adapter, as the PC game just won't recognise it.
