Hi,
I still have the old Xbox controller...Can you show me the homebrew, cutting the cord and connecting the wires technique..

Thanks....

vintage_guitar · « **Reply #8 on:** July 17, 2003, 05:29:00 PM »

heres a method i just found on a website

"This morning, at the end of a lan party, me and another buddy grabbed a xbox controller and a spare USB cord, and started to turn it into a PC controller.

Pretty much what we did was strip all the wires and since the cord on the xbox controller and the usb cable were similar, all we had to do was match up wires and twist them together or solder them. But there is one yellow wire on the xbox controller cord which is useless and we jsut snipped off. Unfortunately, my soldering iron wasn't working so we had to twist the wires and electrical tape them, but it still worked out fine. "

If you can't get it from here please post again, and i will look some more, maybe a site with pictures. heres another with pictures(but he uses pc port usb slots?)

Ok, this is my first tutorial, so bare with me,

Things you'll need,
1.xbox memory unit
2.access from your xbox controller to your PC (xbox controller to usb cable, or homebrew cutting the cord and connecting the wires technique)

Here are the steps.

1. Go to the official action replay website, and download their software

2. Download the XCtrl drivers (search it in yahoo or download off of this website)

3. Plug the controller into the PC. It will say found new hardware. and direct it to where you installed the XCtrl drivers on your computer. Reboot

4.Plug the memory unit into the controller. It will say found new hardware. Direct it to where you installed the action replay software in the Driver folder. (or if you didnt change it, C: Program Files Datel ActionReplay Xbox Drivers.Reboot (sorry can't put slashes to show folders?)

5. activate ActionReplayXbox.exe in the action replay folder, and voila, you now own an action replay, cool eh, but you didnt waste like 40 bucks.

If anyone needs assistance, please reply, if i am available, i will respond with help in any possible way i can.

You wouldnt happen to have a link to the which wires goto which by chance?
This is sweet and I have to try it .

This is so cool....

But just to let people know and it might just be my hub (it has a surge protector on it) that when I pluged the cable into my usb hub and then plugged in my controller to it. My hub said there was a surge on the hub and turned that port off. But when I plugged it into my pc it worked fine.
