Hoping the RF boards will be good to connect 360 controllers to the og I would say probably not as the OGX360 needs to see a standard USB wireless receiver and I doubt the Xbox 360 wireless board is a USB connection it will be a dedicated data connection for the 360.

Maladin Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I just connected it to my PC by soldering on a usb cable and installed the 360 RF for Windows driver and the computer recognized it. I need to buy a controller now to test it on the PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if you can get them for next to nothing it would be a good Idea to harvest them. Even if you want to use the controllers for robotics or something. Also Arduinos are cheap.

GoTeamScotch Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) I wired up a USB cord to the rf board I got from a broken Xbox a while back. I have no idea where I put it (or if I even have it anymore) to test with my ogx360. I do have another rf board I could test with though. Hmm Side note- I remember it being a pain to sync controllers because the only way to do it was to plug the rf board back into an Xbox 360, then press the sync button on the 360. Once sync'd, the board could be moved. I think that's why I ended up tossing it. It's annoying needing to keep a half-assembled Xbox 360 around just to sync controllers to an rf board.

Arakula Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Oooooh, now that is interesting. I got two OGX360 and at least one dead XBox360 here. Guess this winter will see me tinkering 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladin Posted September 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Well this works great for pc but will never work on OGX because the 360 gamepads are USB 2.0 and the OGX is USB 1.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you might be able to get it working with an OGX360 that is connected to an original Xbox... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladin Posted October 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Yes sorry I made a new post. I got the 360 controller working with the OGXBOX and the RF board. Still having a couple issues I'm trying to work out with it connecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinclairuser Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 just for info, the xbox360 front panel/wireless board is a modified usb port, as is the memory card slots on the front of the fat, in the case of the card slots it is basically a usb port but with a modfied socket and a 3.3v line added, on the slim these ports were remapped to accommodate the internal 4gb mem card. this was all discussed and confirmed on xboxscene years ago, i cringe when i think of all the lost information from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
