Wow, been out of the game too long, lol.
About a week ago I picked up a modded XBOX Classic (NOT 360) loaded with a pile of emu's and such. One of the emu's is CoinOPS showroom X. The thought of playing these with the old XBOX controller kills, so I've been searching for arcade sticks that are XBOX compatible. No dice, next thing I thought of was hacking an XBOX controller and hooking it up to an IPAC, stick, and buttons that I had laying around from an old arcade project I never finished. This is how I stumbled onto this thread.
Will I be able to use an 8 way control stick + IPAC + your XBOX controller hack to hook this up to the XBOX? I read elsewhere that there was something that prevented the XBOX from being able to reproduce control pad motions faithfully. Possibly the difference in throw from the XBOX controller and 8-way stick? Hope that isn't confusing.
If the above will work fine, do you see any issues with wiring a dedicated 4 way stick alongside the 8 way in this setup?
