if you have to ask, you might as well play it safe.

Hah, afraid of damaging the controller? How about damaging the Parallel port so as to make it non-functional? But to do that would take some serious negligence.

how about you learn about the protocol differences, along the way picking up electronic skills and the ability to program. Yes of course anything is possible. But, no, in the most basic consumer electronics sense: if the plug doesn't fit, it ain't gonna work. And it ain't gonna work if you force it ...

I am trying to put the first Saga of Dragon Ball on this DVD, and if Funimation could make it fit, why can't I? Or were they using a bigger DVD?

it's not that hard to understand when you get rid of the bullshit terminology. Pandora battery = normal authentic Sony battery whose internal eeprom serial code has been set to some manner of FFFF's.
