this doesn't look as simple as it looks. rewiring an analog controller to fit into a different port is one thing, but making it into USB requires a chip (which might be simple to solder), but I wouldn't know how to do that... I mean I used to make arcade sticks out of my SNES controllers all the time for fighting games, but this is fairly impressive.
not that easy phantom_mullet.The problem with xbox controllers is they use a special driver built into the console (thus the reason you cant just connect a usb keyboard and have the corresponding keys work)However, there is a method to wire a serial port into the memory card slot using the button contacts inside an xbox controller... you can then wire up a nes/SNES/PS/SG/SMS controller to the port.go look in the emulation forum at xbox scene and all your prayers will be answered.Better yet, if you do it right your xbox controller continues to function as normal when the other controller isnt attached.
