Anyone know if there is a decent USB joystick setup that you could play Robotron with for the 360 ? Any ideas without building something ? Thanks maxmix |

I was going to suggest that if you don't want to build something, then just get one of these: X-Arcade™ Dual But then I read this on their site: --- Quote ---Update On X-Arcade™ Xbox 360™ Adapter Availability. Although the X-Arcade™ is one of the most highly-regarded Arcade Joysticks available, we have been unable to produce an Xbox 360™ adapter. Microsoft® is legally blocking Xgaming from producing, manufacturing or distributing a peripheral which connects directly to the Xbox 360™. It is unfortunate that Microsoft's® policies are depriving Xbox 360™ owners of a peripheral which is available for nearly every other game system produced in the past decade and customer grief has only amplified with the recent release of Street Fighter IV. Our customers have inquired whether Xgaming could simply pay a royalty to Microsoft® and unfortunately it's not that easy. The Xbox 360™ was designed with a security function which prohibits third-party development without approval and Microsoft® has refused to grant any rights to Xgaming. This strategy has allowed Microsoft® to control the supply of all accessories produced for their console and only a small handful of manufacturers have been granted permission by Microsoft® . "Beside the royalty, which will restrict many small companies from making Xbox 360 peripherals, this security feature also gives Microsoft total control over which peripherals are manufactured so if for instance they don’t want mouse and keyboard adapters for the Xbox 360, they can simply decide not to allow them, even if a company wants to pay the royalty. " Teamxbox "{Source Teamxbox} It serves Xgaming no benefit to delay the release of our adapter and we are paralyzed without Microsoft's® explicit permission. We sincerely apologize--but we are working hard to provide customers with X-Arcade™ support on their 360's™. Other firms are hacking together electronics from Microsoft® gamepads and we feel such a solution will not meet our strict quality standards. However, we can assure customers that we will have a legal option available by the end of this year. We hope you'll be patient and if you sign up below---we will email you upon any updates on availability. We are unable to provide any additional information at this time, but do apprecaite your patience and hope you realize we must adhere to legal requirements established by Microsoft.® Regards, Shawn Walters President Xgaming, Inc. --- End quote --- Wow, that's awesome. Rock on Microsoft. |

You could probably get someone smaller to build you something, or someone on this forum. |
