You'll need either a game card adaptor, sound card or motherboard support for a game port interface. Unless you get a dedicated game card adaptor you'll probably be using CPU cycles to poll the joystick which in older slower machines gave a hit on frame rates.

You could buy a USB joystick adaptor but they generally have issues for joysticks with lots of buttons and sliders.

You might be able to buy something like the bodnar interface and replace the electronics. My Thrustmaster rudder pedals works well with my Bodnar interface. The newer ons don't need the matrix board but are more expensive!

Cheers!
