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  :censored: 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?
