I couldn't follow the link to read any further as gaming sites are banned at work.

Boo...

This is the same crappy method where you have to boot up with an actual wired 360 controller, then swap over to their connector.  Lame.

Is a bit cruddy you have to have 2 wired 360 pads and then faff about...

Who has wired pads anyway!?

Thinking of selling my X-Arcade because playing games on either Sanwa or Seimitsu sticks/buttons make Happ-style controls feel awful...

Would this thing work for a guitar or something else that's not a XArcade controller? I wonder if anyone has tried this to control a guitar or a dance pad. I'd love to use my original red PS2 guitar on the 360.

that kinda stinks. I was hoping to not have to hack up 2 more controllers for my cab.

Oh well. No easy way out I guess. lol.

I've read the whole Xgaming site regarding this 360 controller for the X Arcade - but does the PS2 adapter connect to the 360 Xgaming interface the PS2 male jack to a PS2 female socket on the X Arcade interface, which makes me have to dig around and  unplug the PS2 console and hook up the 360 while it is on...?  (Doesn't that fry the X-Gaming controller?)

Isn't the 360 joypad USB?

Is there an alternative with guides?
