How do I use my DJ mixer (MIDI controller) bcd3000 as a gamepad in windows XP pro?

I have a usb digital DJ mixer (BCD3000) that I bought a couple years ago for mixing and I just came up with the bright idea that it would be perfect for use as a fight pad. I've already spent thousands of hours using it mixing on my computer so it would be awesome if someone could help me out here.. It's got 10 face buttons all right next to each other in the middle almost like it was designed for fighting games. It's just a MIDI controller. I looked on Google but all I could find is people wanting to find out how to do the opposite (making a cheap PC game pad work as a MIDI controller). I need to know how to make windows think that my MIDI controller is a game pad so Street Fighter 4 will accept its input. Everyone at the Street Fighter 4 forum laughed at me when I said that DJ mixers have superior buttons. Help me please

It's a DIT kit put out by DJ Tech Tools...basically a box with Arcade Buttons on it. Fully customizable. Reasonable price too...somewhere between 100-150 i think.

Looks pretty cool...might pick one up just to mess with at home.

WHY?!?!?!?!?!!?!

I fucking hate those arcade buttons so much they all make a clicky sound and that sound is ALWAYS not synced to the input. Don't get me wrong I love a good clicky sound that goes with my input but not if that clicky sound isn't synced perfectly to the actual input.

Seems like you have more than just a clicky button problem then...latency issues.

Might not be the device itself.

Even the ones in the arcade do it. It's very hard to notice unless you have good ears and knowledge of game mechanics, but it throws me way off every time.

I was looking into doing kind of the reverse, where you make ssl inputs with a xbox360 controller, so that you're not stooping down to type on the keyboard, but make you look like a jackass playing mw2 instead of dj'ing. if anyone's figured it out without requiring the use of winblows and lugging a 360 around, please do share
