PacDrive + Xbox360? possible?
ChurchOfSolipsism:
I searched the forum but couldn't find anything about this:
I built my MAME bartop so that I could also play Xbox360 games on it (hacked an xbox pad, used an LCD screen etc.), recently got myself a Pac-Drive and some LEDs. Now, since Mushihimesama Futari has been released on the xbox, all I ever do is play xbox, so I was wondering what happens if I plug in the Pac-Drive into the xbox via the USB-port. Probably nothing - I guess the real question is: is there any way to get the xbox to power the Pac-Drive so I can at least get my LEDs to burn all the time (by this I mean: I can't really ask for an attract mode/ flashing buttons & I'd be quite happy if my buttons simply glowed)?
Cheers!

You don't need the pacdrive for that. Just supply them with power.

Um, yeah, but won't connecting the LEDs to two power sources at once result in problems?
Ginsu Victim:
You will be using one power source according to what you said above.
Just get a wall wart of the appropriate power, strip the end, and wire it up.
Havok:
But the whole point of the pacdrive is to be able to turn stuff on and off. You would need a dll for the xbox to do that. Or whatever the equivalent is for Linux, if that's what you're running.
If you just want to keep LED's lit when the system is on, then the pacdrive is of no use to you.
