Question on Xbox Controller port to USB Adapter

Recommended Posts

I was given two broken original Xbox consoles to try and fix. After fixing the issues with one of them, I tried to test it. As I didn't have a controller for it I bought an adapter like the one in the picture (Adapter) to try and use either a USB arcade stick or one of my wired controllers for PC, Xbox 360, or Xbox One. I eventually bought a controller for it as I could not get anything to work with this adapter. So I am wondering, does this adapter serve any purpose? Has anybody gotten an arcade stick kit like the one in the second picture to work on the original Xbox?

That adaptor is use to connect a USB thumb drive as a memory card and I have used one to connect a wireless keyboard/mouse receiver as well.

To connect a Xbox360 or Xbox one controller you need to make a OGX360 interface and a wireless receiver.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

USB physical connections don't mean much. Just because it fits doesn't mean it is going to work. There needs to be a driver that tells the Xbox how to use the device plugged into it. In the case of the Xbox, that will not exist. It's not like your pc where people submit their drivers to Windows Update and it just automatically pulls them down when you plug a new device in. That seems to happen so automatically and seamlessly that people have no idea that it is occurring. That's why people think if you just plug something into USB that it's automatically going to work when the physical connection means basically nothing.
