Cool! The company I work for is looking to get their controller to work for the 360. I know there are some ps2->360 converters but they are not working for us. Would you be interested in offering your services?

Thanks,
Jeff

I would buy a 360 if I could use my Dual Strike on it. Any ideas?

We want to have 4 wired controllers connected to each Xbox 360.

Every 360 owner knows the D-Pad flat out sucks, and with fighting games like DOA out and SF2HF and UMK3 speculated to hit the XBLA soon a controller with a solid d-pad is important. While the Playstation pad is widely popular, most hardcore 2D fighter fans agree that the Japanese Saturn Pads are some of the best fighting games pads ever made. Not to mention picking up old Saturn pads and joysticks is relatively cheap. If you really want a PSX pad there is bound to be a converter eventually, whereas it’s highly doubtful you’ll ever see one for the Saturn.This of course involves gutting a perfectly good 360 controller… luckily I just picked up 2 wireless controllers for $20 a pop, both have analog stick problems, which make them perfect for this mod (considering we wont be needing analog sticks).

Simple and reversible. I have yet to add the L2/R2 buttons.
It’s a good method if your target controller has lots of room to work with.

This method is much cleaner, I like it a lot.
