Title: xbox arcade sticks?
Post by: CoffinDrop1 on November 26, 2009, 03:28:50 PM
Does anyone have any arcade sticks for xbox?

I have a modded xbox with MAME games and I'm wanting to hook up a SF Hyper comp at work as we have a few old skoolers here that are keen to bust out their old moves lol.

Was wondering if anyone had any sticks that work with the xbox that I could possibly borrow for it - happy to pay a rental fee - no button mashers will be attending.

Aww man, thats gonna be one find thing to find.

Is it not possible to play the games on a laptop/netbook?  That way you can use most usb sticks.

on another note.  The newer type of oldschool xbox controller (The S Type I believe they are called?) are common ground and are easy to hack.

Nice big fat solder points on them.

Same here. I go into eb games and say I'd like to buy guitar hero world tour for xbox. Both workers look at eachother for a bit with a puzzled look, then turn back to me and say 360? I mean cmon.

I used 2xPS2->Xbox 1 adapters. You can even mod the adapters to work on PC and XBOX
