Definitely not - in fact Andy talks about it NOT doing analog on the link I sent you.  The A-PAC does, but I don't know of a way to interface it to an X-arcade.

I still think your idea is possible, between using a standard PC joystick (or the Happ Analog), maybe swapping some pots, and interfacing to a X-box controller PCB, but don't know specifics on how to do it.

If you don't get anywhere with Andy or this thread, you might ask on the console forum, as they would be more familiar with X-box mods.

AtomSmasher:

Have you taken a look at the Quasicon?  Its a bit large and expensive, but it has analog joysticks which could most likely be removed and installed into a smaller housing.  It doesn't have xbox 360 support yet, but they say they will have it soon.  I'm not sure how easy the analog joysticks would be to use for you since they are smaller then a normal joystick, but its something to consider.  You could always try emailing Quasimoto and see if they'd be willing to help.

AtomSmasher,

That looks promising. I'll email them too and inquire as to the status of their Xbox 360 support.

Thanks for the link.

KevSteele:

XBox 360 support for the Quasicon has been "almost ready" for well over a year. I don't know if it's a licensing issue or what, but they've had problems.

I'll check with Quasimoto and see what's up, and post here.

mthomson:

Thanks Kev,

I haven't followed up on this as quickly as I would like to...alot of irons in the fire right now. But for all who could benefit I really want to see this become a reality.
