Use non-Xbox Controller on Xbox?

[haze03]

Does Xbox have USB? I was thinking of getting one and using it as a game station for NES, SNES, and other ROMS. However, like on the PC it is no fun without the gamepads. The keyboard sucks for console emualtors. I know NES controllers can be used via USB on PC and want to know if ia way exist for xbox. PS, N64 and others would eb cool, too.

Xbox does not natively have usb, but I have seen modded cables with usb that plug into the controller port. My friend did this to hook up a usb mouse and keyboard. Unfortunately, I don't know more than that, but at least you konw its possible.

Yes Xbox is USB...I have modified several ends of controllers to work in both xbox and PC...Xbox controllers have 5 cables to them USB have 4...if you just match up the colored cables it will work in PC als. Its not hard but the soder points are very small. Aslo you need to google some xbox contoller drivers, I dont know what is out there anymore.

vai not just use the xbox controller? all xbox emulators work pretty well using the standard xbox controller... even N64 emulator works pretty well. Actually surprized the heck out of me how good mario64 plays with xbox controller.
