Nothing.

Yes. Rewrite the BIOS to include USB device support.

the only practical way to do this is to learn to program microcontrollers then either write your own code to emulate an xbox controller over usb and control it from the pc over serial or wire the microcontroller pins to the innerds of an xbox controller and use a pc to control it via usb.

I was actually going to try this. I was looking into Vusb and teensyduino beforehand. I was just hoping to find another way to do this with what I had on hand. I'd send the commands via USB to the chip, and the chip would send the commands to the Xbox. Looks like that's my only way forward.

The xbox bios supports an usb keyboard as well. (Not much applications can use it.)
It might be easier to implement on a microcontroller than a xbox controller as the hid interface is better documented. (Depends what you want to use it for.)
@HeimDall: You can't convert an usb host port in a device port with software only.
Some devices have hardware that can make the port work both ways. The xbox hasn't.
An usb host provides a 5V supply to bus powered devices. It's not a good idea to connect 2 ports doing that 2 each other. That's why host side and device side use different connectors.
