Hello. I was wondering....will standard PC controllers work with the Xbox 360? If not, what are the chances a third party like Lik Sank or whoever will create an adaptor that will allow this? I really really REALLY want to use a certain non force feedback wheel with my Xbox 360! Will it be a simple driver solution?

Somebody will try to make an adapter, and MS will sue them if they succeed.

I still don't understand why Microsoft doesn't just support the Driving Force Pro. Or at least the PC version of the Driving Force.

I'm guessing drivers were written for the DFP by someone at Bizarre. If only so they could use it. I know I'd do it if I was working on that game.
Hajaz said:forget about using the ecci isamu. it just wont work even if you made an adapter for it yourself.
it needs builtin drivers in RR6, witch isnt gonna happen
just give up and buy rfactor
Hello Hajaz...good to hear from you home skillet
No disrespect dawg, but you are misinformed
The ECCI is not....I repeat is NOT a force feedback wheel! It is an "oldskool" wheel operated on both a spring loaded mechanism and a fluid damping system(see more *HERE*)
Bottomline is, whether Namco, Bizarre, or any other racing game developer puts FF code into the game is irrelavant with this wheel, since it in no way relies of FF technology. You simply turn it left or right, and you are met with an incredibly smooth, lifelike and resistant tension that is paralled only by an actual automobile. I plan on sending this wheel to someone that will take the PCB circuit board from an existing Xbox 360 wheel, and place it into the ECCI so that the Xbox 360 is tricked into thinking the ECCI wheel is the original 360 wheel. Makes sense?

They simply can't succed without MS approval. Xbox 360 uses a signal encription/signing for every peripheral, including controllers. So noone can create an accessory for the console without having MS providing them the security key for making them work.beermonkey@tehbias said:

Yes, I suppose with some electronics knowledge you could disassemble some existing controller and feed its circuitry from another unlicensed one. But it's obviously something homebrew, andyou need to break up a working controller.isamu said:see my solution above

seems like the ECCI wheel is $800+ american, so i guess he wont mind taking apart a 40 dollar controller
...i really wanted one of those wheels, clutch and everything on them...then i saw the price and cried

are you unemployed or something? In my opinion if you can afford internet access then you can afford an ECCI wheel

hmm.. so youre saying any wheel will work minus the FF, if you mod it?
I guess theres a possiblity :s
how would you calibrate it etc though? (or are you assuming there will be some wheel support, just not FF)
