Hi all, Long time modder and lurker, first time poster but I wanted to share a project I have been working on the last couple months. It is a small PCB which allows you to use Wireless Xbox 360 controllers (via the Xbox 360 USB Wireless Receiver) on an OG Xbox console. The design is loosely based on another similar project I did for the Nintendo 64 console https://imgur.com/gallery/HVLea3d Following the release of this board another forum user sent me an email asking if this device could be adapted for the OG Xbox, and funnily enough that was the next thing I was going to attempt! I wanted to support the following features atleast: Up to four players with rumble support. 100% USB Bus Powered so no external power supply needed. Fast bootup time, so it's up and running in time for the OG Xbox. Low input lag. As always, this is a hard thing to measure, however I can say that an OG Xbox controller is polled by the console every 4ms or so. My software gathers all the Xbox 360 wireless controller data, collates it and generates all the HID reports every 4 ms aswell. It's possible an input may miss this 4ms window, so would happen in the next 4ms window. As you probably know, an OG Xbox controller is basically a USB HID device, however it has some custom requests and other slight differences, meaning that it doesn't work on a Windows machine without a custom driver, and conversely a generic HID controller will not work in an OG Xbox so there was some work in getting a reliable and compatible solution working. To support four controllers, it is necessary to have 4x Full USB device controllers. However I imagine most people would rarely play with 4 people at once so my design is modular meaning you can support anywhere from one up to 4 players as required to keep cost down. This is a link to the github repo with what I came up with https://github.com/Ryzee119/ogx360 A link to my etsy store where you can buy one pre-assembled https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/672315615/ogx360-add-wireless-xbox-360-controller Cheers!

I made them myself from a standard xbox USB cable and a DIY MicroUSB connector shell. Like this https://www.adafruit.com/product/1390 Bit tedious but looks clean in the end.

I'm okay with drilling the hole. If done clean, it'll have an 'OEM' look like the 360 & Xbox One's sync button.

Very easy, but means you have to drill a hole somewhere so the button is accessible. The proposed is just an alternative method.

Should be easy enough to fit it and a de-cased receiver inside, that’s the way I’m going to go. the less messy wires the better imo

I am waiting eagerly for an internal version. it's gonna be a must-have!

You can just customize the UnleashX configuration yourself by opening config.xml in Notepad. That's what I did. Or better yet, drop UnleashX entirely and upgrade to Rocky5's XBMC-Emustation or XBMC4Gamers dashboards, which are much better.

It took me forever to find a copy to download. He updated the N64 pack with more games. You can find it here http://www.emuxtras.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6096&start=340

moses_373 - Thanks for the feedback! Really glad you're getting some good use out of it and putting it through its paces. mazdababy- No mailing list but Ill probaby just post here when I have some on hand. Only getting 25 units so if they happen to sell out I'll just get more. This is a video which attempts to show the input lag compared to an S controller under worst-case conditions (4 Wireless controllers synced, and using a slave module): Top right is a wireless Xbox 360 controller Bottom right is an S controller. Judge for yourself https://youtu.be/V7Pnba7Y12Y

So, I just wanted to jump in and vouch for this project, I was the fellow that had asked Ryzee119 if this was possible and he was kind enough to send me a prototype model at cost. Let me just say that this is the only way I'll be playing my Xbox in the future. I own a pair of Logitech wireless controllers and just hated the feel of them, but I also can't bear having a tangle of controller wires strewn across my living room now that I'm accustomed to the convenience of wireless. So for the last couple of weeks in my spare time I've been playing through sections of Halo (the game I played most by a longshot back in the day). First with an S controller, then with the 360 controller. Often I forgot to switch back just because the 360 controller felt so good in the hand and any difference in responsiveness was imperceptible to me. Tldr: get this mod, you'll thank yourself. P.S. anybody in the market for some Logitech wireless controllers?
