Yes, it does work with the XBox.
When you select "Xbox" as the "Output System" (right column), the "Output As" column will show which XBox function is related to which "Input As" port.
- For example, the XBox default for "Output As - Black" is "Input As - Port F1".
- If you're using a Teensy 2.0 board, Port F1 is 3rd pin down from the upper right.
- If you're using a Pro Micro, Port F1 is not connected so you'll need to change the "Input As" to a port that is available but unused like D4.
Step-by-step procedures are in the User Guide PDF. ;D

oh wait so if i buy the kade 2.0 from bruno it doesnt come with the smaller board in the middle with the usb port ?
wich one is better the kade 2.0 or dual strike ,problem for me is the shipping cost from brazil to the netherlands etc
any resellers in the eu ?
the software of the kade2.0 makes sense to me but the dual strike software does not
do i need 2 of these for 2 players or just 1 for 2 players ?

If/when Bruno re-stocks, it comes as shown -- a 32u4 AVR board (small board on top with USB) and the daughterboard. (large board on bottom with ethernet, Dupont pins, programming jumper, and screw terminals)
The daughterboard is convenient if you plan on swapping controller adapters via the ethernet connector, but the daughterboard is not needed -- it's just convenient for hooking up controls/controllers without soldering.

If you don't plan to use the miniArcade 2.0 for a multi-system/multi-controller setup, you can save lots of money by ordering a 32u4 AVR board and soldering some wires to through-holes on the AVR board to "roll your own".
If you have zero soldering skills, just order an Arduino Micro like this one or this one that comes with the pins already soldered, some Dupont jumpers, and a euro-style terminal strip for an easy no-solder setup. ;D
If you want to save more money and don't mind reassigning a few ports in Mapper and soldering, you can use the very common and inexpensive Arduino Pro Micro.
- 5 ports to reassign (XBox defaults not available on the Pro Micro): B7, C7, D6, F0, and F1
- 7 available ports to choose from (not used as XBox defaults): B1, B2, B3, D0, D1, D4, and F7

There are no official resellers, but anyone can order the daughterboard PCBs from any PCB fabrication house.
- The Gerber (PCB fabrication) files are in "..\docs\gerbers\miniarcade2_gerber.zip".
- At the end of the User Guide PDF, there's a Bill of Materials for (and links to) any desired PCB parts like the ethernet connector, screw terminals, Dupont pins, etc.

For XBox, each AVR shows up as a single gamepad so you will need two AVRs for two players.
scroeffie:
thanks for all the info :) made a little bit more sense
going to order the complete kit from bruno times 2 :)
xefned:
Which of the two DFU bootloaders is correct for the Mattairtech board: the Atmel DFU, or the non-Atmel DFU?
