Xbox 360 Wired Controller hack Arcade with PC and 360

[Snowblindz]

I'm currently working on an arcade cabinet.. and I'd like to be able to use both the Xbox 360 and the PC with the controls.  With all the great fighting games on the 360 and soon to come.. (Street Fighter 4, Street Fighter HD Remix) I would like to be able to fire up the 360 and play those games on my arcade with its superior fighting controls. I was wondering if anyone has successfully done this and if there is a good tutorial on it. 

I would like to be able to easily switch from pc to 360 with the same control panel. I was thinking that since the Xbox 360 wired controller works with a PC through USB I could use it for this project.  The problem with that is this.. it only has 1 usb cord coming out of it so I would have to remove it from the 360 and hook it into the pc and vice versa when switching between the two platforms.. is there a way I could set it up with a switch or button to change between the pc and the 360? LIke a usb hub selector type thing?  I.E. plug the controller into a base that has a usb out to the 360.. and one to the PC.. and you can select between them? 

Any help would be appreciated.. thanks in advance.

You would want something like this:  http://www.usbswitch.com/usb_manual_2port.html

You could leave everything hooked up, and press a switch to change the output.  You could even probably take it apart, extend the switch with some wires, and move the switch to somewhere on your cabinet to make it even easier to use.

Thanks for the reply.. now I just gotta figure out how to modify 2 xbox 360 wired controllers to work with arcade sticks and buttons and everything will be peachy!
