hmmmm, my xbox cable has a white, yellow, red, blue, and orange cable. Anyone have an idea on which ones go where?

Without splicing any wires of the xbox adapter or cord, can't you just solder the usb connections into the part that connects to the xbox? i can see five connections inside there (i'm guessing that the larger one is yellow?)
wouldnt that be better..?

I tried doing this to an aftermarket wired 360 controller because i lost the breakaway cable, but it only powers on for a quick second then dies. do you think wire gauge would have anything to do with this?

my controller keeps shorting out my usb port, telling me to unplug the device and reset the usb port any suggestions?

Try making sure that the connections are together very well, If you can solder the connection. Also try plugging it directly into a USB port on the motherboard not a USB hub. It may draw too much energy than the USB Hub can give.

I don't mean to be rude, but why didn't you use the text on mspaint?

Which way you splice the cables you should see the color coated smaller cables.
