Can it be done

square controllers, round controllers I dont find any of em fitting to my hand, heh.

I was thinking about Playstation / Xbox controlers......

The Xbox is pretty big, i was just wondering if you guys think it would fit or not..... I dont have the resources at the moment to try it out. Maybe someone would like to give it a go

*looks outside at the blizzard......wonders what happened to that bit snowmobile idea*

*cough* It's been done *cough*

Search function is there for a reason, if you can't find it here; try mods & projects.

As for the snow mobile bit, I've seen snow flakes bigger than these things! However, it *would* be possible to make one. But completely useless in the snow!

The hardest part would be designing the spring-loaded articulating the rear-track. Making skis wouldn't be too hard. And it really wouldn't take too much to seal the standard tub-chassis. Damn, now I'm thinking about it.

you know................. I wish less people on forums would stop saying stuff like that...... "use search, find it yourself ect...." I help out people as much as possible when i can, People see stuff like that and it causes the forum to loose its personal appeal. If you hapen to know where it is POST A LINK!!!! dont insult other people...... I have read this forum for a long time, And have never seen it, I HAVE searched and havnt found it..............

I have seen playstation pads used.....Never seen anything xbox related.............. perhaps someone can be of more assistrance to me.

Sorry if I have been out of line in any way, although I dont feel I have
thanx

How about a NES controller? hahah jk

i think the playstation controller would feel better on and more comfortable to hold. I havent really felt a xbox controller yet.

Playstation1 controllers would fit perfectly mostlikely with a multi Fequency controler.

You should really take something for that cough, it sounds bad.

Any of those controllers would probably work, just not with the propo controls. Easy enough to beep out the wires' functions with a multimeter or continuity tester.

Thanx for the imput, kek keep the ideas comin....
has anyone ever taken apart a playstation controller to see if it would work.... batteries would be a small problem too,...

Charger, you will definitely have to either incorporate a charger within the controller or have a station charger built.

With the power source requirement for a standalone Bit Char-G controller on a PS2/Xbox controller, building a charger on it will require more space. Maybe the Xbox controller has ample rom for both of these.

Swavey · #10 03-04-2003, 08:20 PM

Just a guess.... but I was thinking maybe the handles of the PS controller dont have much if any electronice in em, and should have space for a few AA's or somethin...... Just a guess though.

Damn heh I really wanna make this now... will have to wait till april till I get back in my own country..
