help needed with setting up xbox360 in arcade cab
pudluther:
hey fellas...
i'm setting up an xbox360 in one of my existing arcade cabs...i'm going as simple as possible and will be bypassing the monitor, going with an LCD TV, and am using adapters between standard xbox360 controllers and my arcade control panel.
i purchased the J-PAC, ps2 controller adapter from ultimarc.com and then purchased an adapter for ps2 to xbox360 controller. i have everything hooked up now and am in the process of testing.
so far, everything works great with no input lag whatsoever. the only issue i'm having is that the controls were not all mapped correctly by default. the arcade stick works perfectly and the 1P start button works as it should....but i think the only other buttons that are mapped are LB, RB, X, and Y (and not in the positions i'd like).
is there a way to map the controls the way you want them? i noticed a mapping program of sorts on the disc that was included with my purchase, but it appears to be geared more towards mapping PC inputs.
surely someone out there has some experience with this and can provide some help....
thanks in advance.

I am confused here. Why are you using a j-pac?
Wouldn't you just purchase the x-arcade xbox 360 adapter? Wire the arcade controls directly to the adapter and use the ps2 adapter to connect it to your xbox 360?
Doesn't it have pinouts that you have to connect to for matching the xbox 360 controllers?

i'm not using an x-arcade control panel. i'm using an arcade cab (dynamo). i've somehow gotta get the xbox controller to work with the buttons on my arcade control panel...hacking a controller is not an option for me. i was told that using the adapters to run through my JAMMA would work.

why was hacking the controllers not an option? Its easy to do, if you didn't want to do it yourself, you should just buy one of haruman's hacks.

didn't want to do it myself. i prefer this option. plug 'n play is always my first choice.
