X-Arcade Releases Xbox360 Console Adapter......(Kind of)

[dafelandry]

So being an Xarcade Tankstick user I was literally prepared to get a controller hack for my XB360.... my pc in my cab is too old to play SF4 and i really didnt feel like upgrading.... so i check my email today and i get "X-Arcade Xbox 360 Adapter Available Now" so im all yes finally the deal went through and i dont have to hack a controller!! then it turns out to be a PS2 adapter to XB360 adapter..... I am a little skepticle... think it will cause lag?? Or hows does a "dual" adapter hook up to a single serial port on the Tankstick....

Thoughts anyone?

I could be wrong, but it looks like you need a separate adapter AND wired controller for each player.  Sounds pricey and unweildly.  I'd still go with the hack.

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty damn ugly solution.  The 360 seems to be becoming the dominant console for fighting games of the 7th generation, at least in the West.  If X-Arcade want's to be in this market, they really should bite the bullet and either negotiate with Microsoft, or start hacking up other approved controllers to build their own.  ...Even if that would signifigantly drive up costs.
