damnit, I just sold my fucking G25 to get a 360 compatible wheel.
If it's anything like the Cross Battle 2.0 Adaptor then around $70US perhaps?

I fear that this converter won't fix the real issue with Xbox 360 wheels--poor force feedback.
But if it makes the G25/G27 feel exactly like it does on the PS3/PC, this thing would easily be worth $50+.

I would imagine it would allow any HID wheel to work with at least some level of support, so yes.

Yeah I sold it along with the MS wheel to fund the GT2

Actually, it is, but you need to do some mod thing to it. I don't know which as I've never had any interest but a mate of mine has and pretty much every Xbox1 game works. The console is able to, MS just haven't unlocked certain games.

Yep: FM3's light ffb has nothing to do with the wheel.

I hope its a reasonable price. I would love to play Forza with my g27.

Same here, that's what I was thinking too. I guess if Forza maybe lets you calibrate the wheel. I think the Fanatec wheels are 900 degrees so maybe? The force feedback may not work at all either.

If you go by the pricing of their PS3 controller -> Xbox 360 converter it's not looking too positive.

doesn't this just emulate the 360 pad? try driving around in gta 4 on the ps3/xbox with a wheel and experience what this converter does.
the massive deadzone makes it worthless.

it works that way because MS has a 'security system' that locks out unlicensed peripherals, so you have to plug in a wired 360 controller to bypass that.Truespeed said:
wait... so it lets you use xbox 360, ps3 and xbox controllers on xbox 360 and ps3 too?

pretty good if it really works with the shifter and clutch. but how is this any different from all those other versions of these adapters, ive seen like 5 different ones that all enable either PS3 controllers or mouse/keyboard use.
edit: also that you need to attach the official controller -parasite is a low blow, they could not get an official chip or use one of the chinese knockoff's that some arcade sticks have?

Not actually that important
It's fucking worthless, it only supports rumble.
if you don't know the difference try to play something like Outrun Online Arcade, which only supports rumble on both consoles. That's how it is going to behave for every racer on 360.

it's just the latest version... they keep adding more features to the same design every 6 monthsNoisepurge said:
i remember there was a huge difference in the way ffb worked on 360 vs ps3, like they were completely incompatible from a basic design standpoint... maybe someone else has a link on the explanation...Dash Kappei said:

you need a JTAG Xbox 360 and modified Xbox1 emulator files that remove the checks that allow only certain games to run.godhandiscen said:
Yeah, I'm said mate of Gen X. RSC2 played off the original disc fine, some games just didn't boot at all though. Framerate was pretty well perfect with only a tiny amount of texture glitches. There are games that DID make it to the official emulator that perform/look worse.The Faceless Master said:
TBH, it was worth hunting down a hacked 360 to get it running... such an awesome game that I was glad to be able to play without having to hook up the old Xbox.

Same here. I already have a pretty awesome G27 set-up that I'd like to use on 360. From the info released I can't tell, does this support force feedback or not?
