UPCB already has support for Xbox consoles directly. It’s for 18LF4550 PIC’s, but it should be easy to port it to atmel chips as long as they support full speed USB (youll need an atmel with built in USB hardware; the AVR-USB code is low speed only)

I explain: it’s possible to use an usb pc joystick on xbox?
I built an Atmega8 based usb joystick (found via hackaday,thanks!), but this device works on PC but is unrecognized by xbox.
Seems Xbox O.S. problem. It is possible to play with .hex code of Atmega8-16 so that at xbox S.O. appear as a genuine controller?
In this manner I can connect to xbox a real arcade joystick!
Thanks in advance anyone!

As he says on the first page, his motivation for doing it is that the driver, whilst stable and support on linux, can be almost impossible to install on Vista due to it’s driver signing. So he wanted to turn it into a generic HID device to make it easier to use.
