You could try using one of these with a keyboard switch to switch between the x-box and the PC. I am planning on doing something similar with my PS2. |

I'm using this page as a guide, and I have the exact same controller... http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=5439 Does anyone know if it's possible to map the trigger buttons to a pushbutton? They're analog but there has got to be some way to simulate an "all the way up" and "all the way down" push, right? Also, I assume I can wire the controller and Ipac to the same buttons, no? --- End quote --- You can do all of this. If you leave the existing potentiometer for the triggers in place all you have to do is connect a wire to the the #1 and #2 contact points. You don't need to use resistors unless you remove the existing potentiometer. If you are planning on using an ipac or more than one PCB for a CP then you have to make sure that both are powered. You do this by connecting the + from the xbox controller to the + on the ipac and the - from the xbox controller to the - on the ipac. Hope this helps. |

I'm under the impression that I did exactly that, and it wouldn't work.... unless I was doing it wrong, I guess. |

Although the 360 has a much better arcade gametype lineup right now, Andy says that a adapter for the ipac will most likely never happen because of microsoft restrictions |

I made a little diagram to help myself visualize it without having to wire (and possibly harm) anything... I don't know if this is too much to ask, but can you draw lines in the diagram to illustrate the proper way to do this thing? |
