Thank you. I'll tell my uncle that there would be this "problem".

Mame works pretty well on the xbox, but due to lack of processing power and ram, it struggles to play some games that would run fine on a decent PC.

My XBOX has been modded for many months with an Xecuter3, so that isn't the problem.

Anyway, now I'm starting to think that I may build a controller for both XBOX and PC (which runs GNU/Linux).

severdhed:

if you are going to use it with a pc also, you have some more options.  you could still do a gamepad hack and use an xbox to usb adaptor for use with the PC, or you could go with an i-pac and use their xbox adaptor. 

the x-arcade diy kit also has adaptors for xbox, ps2, dreamcast, and gamecube

glad to hear you have an xecuter 3...i have one in one of my modded xboxes and i love it. (the other one has an xecuter 2)

Ok :)
So I think I'll buy Japanese sticks+buttons.

Anyway, I've read that it shouldn't be very difficult to understand where to solder on the XBOX joypad.
