But I was thinking of writing some type of xbox-controller-emulation-program for the pc and then plug in a usbwire between the pc and the xbox's controller port I think it could work.. unforanly I've never coded for the usb before and I'm no expert in electronic to. But with the right material to study one could possibly do this happy.gif

I would say go for the parallell first. I know from experince if you can't get this project complete in a short while it will just be another idea sad.gif

The reason I need this program is that I want to use my school's T1 line to host a system link game and I want to be able to change the game from my computer at home.

i'm trying to understand your motivation on this.  i'm assuming you want to play on xbox Live or with xbox tunneling software....and you know that you need an internet connection better than dial-up, but all you have is dial-up.  if dial-up isn't fast enough to host your game at your house, how well do you expect your dial-up to receive the game video from your school?

Hey, kid, better idea: get a part-time job for like, 10 hours a week and you can afford DSL or Cable internet.
Why do we keep getting lazy kids that're more willing to steal bandwidth than actually pay for their own? For Christ's sake, it's not like a fast internet connection is hard to afford nowadays, especially if you have no bills (that means just about every kid here).
