JesseJH Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hi guys, I'm starting to install games on the machine I just built running W2K with all suggested updates/service packs. I need some suggestions for controllers to play games. I heard whispers of people getting the Xbox 360 PC controller to function, but I couldn't find conclusive information. I would LOVE an Xbox 360 gamepad, but I am more than happy to use anything that works well. Wireless possibly? The game I am targeting is Halo: Combat Evolved. I figured someone around these parts would have experience in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseJH Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hello and thank you. Do you have experience with this software? Also, to use an original xbox controller, I would need something like this, correct?http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Xbox-360-USB-Breakaway-Cable/dp/B0046RMJRU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1438971229&sr=8-5&keywords=xbox+to+USB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Just go grab a friend's Xbox controller and plug it in it should work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseJH Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 To my knowledge the original xbox controller has a special male plug. Also to my knowledge the Xbox 360 controller will not natively work. I did a little bit of reading on it. It has me troubled. I'd have to buy a controller anyways online because I have no friends around here with a wired controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yep, an adapter (or stripping the original cable and soldering to it a USB connector) is needed: http://www.redcl0ud.com/xbox_wiring.html If you want to use a XBOX 360 you can try this derivative project: http://www.matt-land.com/xbcd/ or this one (Japanese page by our friend Backwingcat you'll need some patience and Google Translate): http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1104543.html The actual download page is dead, but the new one should be this one now: http://lavendy.net/special/driver/x360c/ jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Afterglow Xbox wired controllers work for both regular and 360 is what I use on my pc for gaming and they are really inexpensive but fairly sturdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseJH Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 I saw the afterglow controllers at best buy yesterday. Was it plug and play for you on Windows 2000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 For xp, Vista and seven yes I don't use 2000 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
