AltarEgo · « **on:** February 03, 2020, 12:22:00 AM »

I know there exists people that have converted their SNES controller to work on XBOX and there are schematics and such online, but since my soldering skills just plain suck and I don't have much spare time to do so, I was wondering if some kind person could mod my SNES controllers (I don't want to use the plain SNES controllers, but rather 2 of my own SNES controllers) to work on XBOX?

Of course, I will pay for the labor and shipping and supply the SNES controllers (and XBOX ones if need be). Or I have many games and ROMs to barter but we could work something out.

Email me at [email protected]

Why bother? The buttons of the Xbox standard controler are set out the same as snes anyway.

It just has a better "feel" when playing the games with their original controller.

I recently purchased a MadCatz RetroCon. It is shaped just like the original NES controller, but has all the buttons of a modern day controller. It is made for PS2, but it works extremely well on Xbox with one of those PS2->Xbox adapters.

It isn't exactly the same as playing with an original controller, but it definitely has a closer feel than the Xbox one.

They are only $5 at Best Buy.

Maybe because the D pad on the xbox controller is crap.

I use a ps2 convertor which feels quite good, and feels alot better than the crap
D pad on the xbox controller.

The S-controller D-pad is the best I've ever used.

It's fluid, and large, which isn't something the NES/SNES/PS2/GCN can say.

Going back to the original premise of this post, can someone please make me a SNES to XBOX controller?

Why? I like my SNES controller. It's fluid, has all 6 fire buttons on the face, independent turbo switches, and the D-Pad is better than any XBOX controller could be.

So if someone would actually be able to help me and make me a SNES to XBOX controller adaptor, please email me

m@gnus this doesnt work.

its made for PCs. even if it works as a standard controller on PC whitout drivers it doesnt mean it works on xbox. the gameports only support xbox gamepads

this could work if someone would code emu-specific support, but it doesnt seem its going to happen

afaik nobody made a snes controller to xbox yet

but someone did genesis and nes (thread up a bit) and its really alot easier than you think.

basicly you use a VGA cable, or any multi-pin cable for that matter
you yank the old cable, and solder each wire to a xbox button and corresponding button on the gamepad.

I tried to make an NES to Xbox adaptor, but all I managed to do was destroy both my nes controller and my xbox controller

Hey all,

I have done this with my controllers. I build the box from 2 cheap xbox controllers, and then modded my old SNES, NES, Amiga & Sega pads to plug into my box.

You can check out pics of it at this thread: The X-Tap

It's not the top one, but second from the top. It says x-tap on it.

Alter: Check your Email.

Tim.

If you link me to the schematics of how to do this...I will try it out over this weekend. If I can get it to work I will let you know. Then You could ship me the parts needed and we can discuss price. Sound good?

My girlfriend would love this...if it is pretty easy I would consider doing it for free (the GF would really appreciate this and that could be a form of payment I am willing to accept)
