Hacked XBOX Controller

[hoopastyle]

hey has anyone modded their controller to usb to work on their PC. I did and it rocks because now i can play all my pc games with my xbox controller.

[imported_Sofa of Death]

that would take a lot of patience, and a lot of knowledge.......... therefore, no, i have not done this, but i know of how to mod my controller a little bit (i.e. changing it's color, and the jewel encased in the middle)

[imported_rabid bitstream]

wtf?! i've read numerous articles on XBOX modding, and ive never heard of XBOX controller working for PC games,...

hmph

but you can mod the xbox controller to act as a usb boot device, port over some code from it and have an excelent linux xbox.

[xKNUCKLESx]

i think ur lying,...u cant have a controller for pc games..its way too complicated

[imported_rabid bitstream]

ditto ^

[imported_pt14]

thats just wierd

[imported_Gibz]

It is possible... Since the x-box ports are just moddified USB ports. Though it would be cheaper and easier just to get a good gamepad, I guess the satisfaction might be enough

[imported_Sofa of Death]

so any xbox controller can just be cut, and spliced into a normal usb end connector, as long as you have the right wires going to the right places?


somehow, i'm sure you can get the memory card to work then right? then you can transferr thignsto and fro your computer? maybe.... am i right? or am i an idiot?

[imported_rabid bitstream]

uhh, you wouldnt want to put things on a memory card because
1 they arent that big
2 are there memory cards for the box?


yeah you can just splice into controller cable and boot linux off a USB device.

[lllRune666lll]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!....sry

[hoopastyle]

U can look it up i mean there are ways to split it up and stuff

[imported_Sofa of Death]

i'm sure it can be done, i was just curious as to whether i can take mp3's elsewhere n' stuff, or will it not save?

Why don't you spend $8 on a PC gamepad instead of fucking a perfectly good $25 console pad?

[N3cr155]

i don belive it. whare is microsoft gonna be givin u the drivers to do this? you need drivers. i just don think it would work.

[imported_Anonymous]

on one of the sites has drivers...jeeze ppl

[imported_CBI Elite]

lol that's pretty cool! I mean, I didn't think it would be as easy as mathcing up the colors! And thank teh 1337 Gods that some cool-uber leet guy made those drivers or the entire project would go to waste.

Good stuff modders! :thumright:

Because you can buy a replace cable for 5 adn splice that dumbass

[imported_Sofa of Death]

all you'd need as far as drivers go is one that would work for a 10 button controller with 2 control sticks....... which i might add, is not easy to find, but IS out there somewhere........ god knows where

[imported_Muffinman]

S.o.d. we should do that to that retarded controller we have, then just get another one.

[hoopastyle]

why dont you just buy a replacement breakaway cable and use that

[imported_LiquidFire]

well you could, take the case off a controller and make it fit on a pc contorller and say you moded it.

[Tidous]

Would it be possible to put an Xbox controller on the PS2?

Think about it... they have the same buttons... except L2 and R2 are White and Black.

'Back' is Select...

A B X Y - X Circle Square Triangle

[Tidous]

all you'd need as far as drivers go is one that would work for a 10 button controller with 2 control sticks....... which i might add, is not easy to find, but IS out there somewhere........ god knows where

No. there are 12 buttons.

A, B, X, Y, Left shoulder, Right shoulder, White, Black, Back, Forward, and push in the two control sticks.

[hoopastyle]

u ahve a point tidous i have been trying to think of a way to make an xbox controller work on a ps2 but i am still ahving trouble. Ithink maybe someone would have to try to make an adapter of some sort and do soemthing like that nI think that it would be as easy as getting a ps2 to usb adapter and modding that to an xbox controller port or vice versa do u see what im saying here?

[Tidous]

you mean like splice PS2 controller with USB cable, then with an XBOX port?

[discopotat0]

i know you can play on xbox with a ps2 controller(you buy an adapter) but not sure about xbox on ps2.

[imported_Slayer_of_souls2]

That would be to much of a pain in the ass...

[TheBigD]

dude thats narsty! how did you do it and was it expensive?

[imported_TripsEX]

IF you have a dying controller, a home brew shot at trying to make it a PC one isn't so bad. I helped my friend make a modded controller for his PC. I saw it on G4 (I'm sorry.) and we did it with the program they used. Really good too. The cord broke though.
