Introduction: XBOX Controler Via Usb
It is a xbox controler for the pc for the gamers out there.
Step 1: Be Prepared
Befor you do this you need:
A 2.0 USB port
Solder
Xbox 1 contorler or 360
500mhz computer with 64mb of ram
Xbcd Software
Also If you are using the XBOX 1 controler you need to download XBCD from www.allenthinks.com in the download section.
Step 2: Download the XBCD Software
If you are Using Xbox 1 controler you need to download the XBCD (custom) from allenthinks.com in the download section.
If and only if you are using the XBOX 360 controler.
Step 3: Wireing It Up
Now you need to splice the adapter THE ADAPTER not the xbox cable. (some problems)
And it is the same wiring diagram as a normal usb cable.
You don't need to worry about the yellow cable just cut it off.

Now its time to install the software FIRST.
This part is alittle rag-tag.(windows on diffrent os"XP,2000,95")
Once you have the software installed plug up the controler and when windows reconizes it chose manual install and then select choose myself(or something like that) and select the controler and it will say that its not digitaly signed but who cares.

In order to connections and if you installed it correct open up the XBCD Utility and select gamepad1 (or similar) then open up microsofts game controlers and check.
Then open up your fav game and map the controls.

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

I saw one of these where the author ripped out the internal chips and reconfigured the entire controller to be a standard HID. It was a ton more work.

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?

i tried wiring a USB end to my aftermarket 360 wired controller (because i lost the end) but the lights only flash for a second and then it wont power up, do you think the wires on the USB end could be to thin?

I did this both with a mad catz wireless controller and a normal wired controller and they both don't work with vista. the madcats one work perfectly with XP no drivers had to be installed or any special software the normal corded on well you all know is there any way to move drivers from one OS to the other on a usb driver or some thing? very nice how to also.

13 years ago on Step 4

my controller keeps shorting out my usb port, telling me to unplug the device and reset the usb port any suggestions?
Reply 13 years ago on Step 3
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 tryed this, but I didn't want to ruin a controller cable so I used paper clips _~.
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
which prongs did you place the paper clips on? BTW, does the Xbox controller work well with N64 games?
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
Check a few comments down, I mentioned which paperclip goes where in a reply. I'm not sure about N64 games, never tried it.
