thanks bro...
...so i suppose the concept could be the same of the converter i will use, indeed there is a converter really similar to the mine one (yes i have alredy reserved it on ebay XD) produced by radioshack... if wehn i will receive the mine one, it will don't work, i will buy one directly by radioshack.
thanks you ^.^

These work good for 2 controllers, just make sure you turn on Analog before you map the controller:

Use this to enable rumble support:
