Ultimarc Minipac and Xbox 360?
« on: July 10, 2009, 01:20:33 am »
I've got a 4 player control panel with two minipacs.  Is there any solution for getting minipacs working with an xbox 360?  Ultimarc makes ps2/ps3 adapters but nothing for the 360.  And I know there's a ps2 to xbox360 adapter, but from what I understand, it's terribly laggy.

Anyone have any ideas?

talk to HarumaN about wiring you up some 360 pcb's with a terminal block and then you could put the wire from the mini-pac into them.

there also natural with no lag that way and the actual controller pcb's on the actual system are the actual best results anyhow.

probably be cheaper then buying 3-4 different adaptors for one console too.

Your only option at this point is a 360 pad hack.  There aren't any adapters for the 360 because of the security encryption the controllers use.

Even Xgaming haven't had any luck in persuading Microsoft to allow them to produce adaptors for the 360 ...

http://www.xgaming.com/xbox-360-arcade.shtml


But they do reference this article, which describes how to get the X-Arcade Tankstick working on the 360.  You need the X-Arcade PS2 adaptor.  This plugs into the PS2 port on a 360 adaptor called the "XFPS" :

You should be able to do the same thing using Ultimarc's PS2 adaptor.    :)

Cheers.

I've got the PS2 adapters, but I think the XFPS adapter is the one that is so laggy it's almost unusable.  Anyone have any experience with it?

they cost as much as controller 2 hacks so go with the controller hack with no lag
