arcade control help

[Genome]

so am i right to assume that using the guides out there to mod a psx controller to respond to arcade game controls the same idea would work with an xbox controller? this would obviously be preferable since it could easily be modded to be a usb connecter, without having to buy an adapter.

anyone know if this is possible?

or if a guide exists? (cant hurt to have a refrence)

and yes your are correct.

also following this Saturn guyed can be applied to just about any stick..

cool:happy: i was hoping i was correct. who needs a 40 dollar board when you know a bunch of dumb kids that throw their controllers when they die on halo lol. broken controllers=free;)

thanks alot man, again you are the controller guru.

odd though i wonder why no one has made a guide this controller already..

thanks alot :)

I guess you could gut out any controller and make them usb like this. Most people want to keep the original in tact and user adapters. But if the joystick goes bad or brakes you need to gut out another.

true but i would certainly say its the cheapest way though. i just got 2 xbox controllers (used) for 5 bucks each. not bad to wire up my arcade controlls;)

Nice, I only got one for 6 bucks. But I did find 4 sega saturn with 4 extensions cables all for 15 bucks shipped. Now thats a deal...
