I went to Radio Shack last night and had a look at the materials
described above. All you are describing is a 9-pin connector and
a joystick extension cable. These items will not do the trick.
Some wires have to be crossed. I would appreciate a list of how
to wire this. 
BTW, this is not an easy soldering job, cadets.
