Xbox (not 360) Question.

[Squirrel61]

The classic XBox has 4 game ports that are in fact USB ports. It is possible to get adapter cables in both directions. These are mainly aimed at using XBox game controllers on a PC or using USB storage on an XBox.

Now my question is, and I couldn't find an answer using Google and thelike: I own a (pretty much unused) Logitech racing wheel for the PC with USB connection. When I connect this to the XBox using one of the adapter cables, will I be able to use it in games? Or should I go for the other solution and buy one of those Playstation 2 to XBox converters and use my Thrustmaster PS2 wheel?

Unfortunately PC accessories won't work, not even on a modded Xbox.

The PS2 to Xbox adapters seem to get good feedback: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-gm-49-en-70-1fo.html

...how successful they would be with a steering wheel I don't know. If the wheel's controls were simply mapped equivalents of a PS2 pad, I guess it would be fine. But if the wheel has a custom configuration relying on the PS2 for proper support, the results could be dicey.

Thanks for clearing up. I couldn't find any decent information on the use of PC game controls on an XBox, all hits returned by search engines cover the opposite.

The PS2 wheel is a Thrustmaster with both a control plug and a USB plug and it needs both to operate. But then it behaves like any PS2 gamepad. I've found a PS2 to XBox converter that offers both a gameport and a USB port and it isn't too expensive, so I think I'm just gonna try it. And forget about my PC wheel.

Btw. Anyone interested in an almost unused Logitech Formula GP USB Racing Wheel for the PC?

Maybe, does it work on Xbox?
