Original Xbox controller.

[helltick1]

Hi Guys, Just wanted to say thanks for the front end. I use it exclusively for Mame and have had a blast setting everything up.

I lurked around for a portable solution of HS. I found you can have relative paths to usb flash drives.

I love the original Xbox controller layout, and the fact that it's a usb hub with a controller attached.

I installed a 6' usb cable and 8GB internal flash memory.

I found this to be the most portable solution since it will work on any windows laptop/desktop.

Once plugged in shows up as mass storage, just like a thumb drive.

To activate the controller just install the one click driver installer (XBCD).

Nothing is installed to host PC except the controller driver.

Works on any windows machine I throw at it.

Here is a pic of the old "big duke".

Just use these diagrams.

In settings, set MAME to:

[exe info]

path=..\HyperSpin\Emulators\Mame\

rompath=..\HyperSpin\Emulators\Mame\roms\

userompath = false

exe=mame.exe

romextension = zip

parameters =

searchsubfolders = false

pcgame = false

winstate = HIDDEN

hyperlaunch=true

Love this shit...portable controller with everything built in.

Games/Themes/Videos/Wheel Art/Settings/button mapping...All setup, every time you plug the controller in.

Robotron with two thumbsticks kicks ass.

At any rate, just thought I'd share. I use to modify Xbox consoles and have a shit ton of these controllers.

Very simple to do.

Thank You very much for the front end.

Cheers!

cool idea dude, care to show a video of it in action? Did you wire that usb stick in parallel?

I have a SNES controller I did the same thing with.

Yeah, it ain't rocket science...I needed two thumbsticks for Robotron.

Xbox controller is a USB hub...I connected a flash drive (internally).

Here is a phone vid of the controller plugged in to a win7 laptop.

Works great!

Nice! Put a usb hub to my Xbox for about 10 Years.
