My XBOX Live Arcade controller

(1/4) > >>

somunny:
Using the XBOX 360 controller for most retro games sucks, IMO.  This unit has an Ultimarc Magstick Plus and Happ buttons in it.  Here's some pics of the process:

Here's the pieces of the kit.  I laminated everything with black Wilsonart.



All glue, no screw!



The unused hole is hidden beneath the laminate.



I glued some corner blocks in to mount the control panel deck and bottom cover to.



Here's a close up of the t-nut installation.  I later Bondo'd over the top of the t-nuts.



I didn't like the idea of drilling a hole through the box for the cord, so I used a usb pass-through I had.   The hacked 360 controller plugs into it on the inside of the unit and an extension plugs in on the outside.



Here's the finished project!

Apollo:

somunny:
I did the XBLA logo in photoshop and the sprites in Illustrator.  Thanks for the compliments.  :)
