tktagmedia Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Hey everyone. So, I find myself in a unique situation. I will try to break down my problem as simply as possible: ::I have an S-Type (small) Original Xbox controller with a bad cable. I only have this one controller. ::I do not have a breakaway cable to connect the controller to the Xbox, BUT I have an Xbox controller port to female USB port cable. (pictured here: https://ibb.co/wJTTYfL ) My question is this: could I desolder the Xbox controller cable from the controller board and solder on a USB cable with a standard type-A (male) USB connector to connect to the Xbox, through the pictured-above female USB port?

KaosEngineer Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Yes, why do you think it would not work? The Xbox controller port is USB with an extra Yellow wire used by a lightgun.

snapcaseacilec Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago (edited) So would using a USB MIC/Headset work through the controller if I do not have a OG Communicator / headset?

There is not currently an "open-source" or alternative solution to this adapter (communicator). Although with all the Halo 2-ness that is happening, a solution is being explored by multiple people. I know that alternative sources for the existing supported chipset are being explored as well as possibly other solutions. A generic audio adapter will not work, as far as I am aware.
