Even if you are telling the truth, which I doubt, why would you wan to do that? Console games on your PC monitor? And how would you be able to connect the XBOX controllers to your comper? I smell BS. Anyway, I use the Controller S. My hands are relatively small. I never had any problems with the original controllers, they're great, they're my fav. controllers, but the Controller S is just a little easier for me to wrap my hands around. :ninja: [edit]does anyone know why the hell it is called the controller "S"???[/edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think running your console on such a small screen defeats the purpose of a console system. The VGA unit is seperate and doesn't come with the system for a reason. The USB for the XBOX is highly modified, because of the increased power requirements of the rumble feature and other things designed to get power from the controller ports, USB 1.0 specs don't run enough power. I don't see how your controllers would work properly connecting them to a standard USB hub... :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timan Veteran Posted August 17, 2002 Veteran Share Posted August 17, 2002 confusing YES! i see it now though he isn't playing xbox on the computer just using the controller. pretty cool idea but dont want to waste 30 :s might try it when xbox goes :( in a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonBlur Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Originally posted by werejag emulation? i was talking about using the xbox controler for a gamepad on ut2k3 You were talking about just using the CONTROLLER on your computer?? Why would you say it "runs on my desktop"?? Haha, would you say your mouse "runs on your deskop"? I don't think so, unless you were talking about it moving across your desk... Haha, ok, then we totally misunderstood you. I thought you were talking about running an XBOX emulator on your computer AND using the conroller on your computer! Does the rumble feature work for you while connecting it to you computer using the driver you have? I guess you wouldn't NEED to be able to use the extra power throughupt for other things connected to th controller ports on the PC then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonBlur Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Originally posted by xEonBuRn HAH, yeah.... I think you have to understand the process of how USB devices work... there are these things called drivers that control that... which right now are being developed by private people. By no means have the bugs been worked out but they are damn good. You should research what people say before you flame them, instead of speaking out of your ass. I didn't flame anyone. Maybe YOU should read my other posts. [edit]what the? Is the post I quoted here actually gone now, or is it just my computer? That is way weird! -- oh, silly me, I didn't even know you could completely delete your own posts, hehe. I guess that's what he did :s[/edit]: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
