Title: Adapter to use X-box controller on Gamecube?
Post by: mikey25nnj on July 21, 2003, 09:20:05 AM: I've been looking for these everywhere and no luck. All I've found so far is ps2 to gamecube ps2 to X-box.
I was wondering if anyone has happened to come accross an x-box to gamecube controller adapter.
If so, please let me know

Thankyou,

Mike

It's like replacing your mattress with a fakir's mattress.

My freind is getting it for xbox and since he has a 52" HDTV well most likely be playing it there all the time.
I don't want the disadvantage of practicing at home with a different controller than I will be competing with since I will be buying it for gamecube
anyway, that's my main reason

And if your picky, super-glue a green golf ball with the letter X to the top of it.

How hard is it to adjust to a MUCH better controller? I play Madden over my friends, and they insist on the PS2 version. But when we're here at my place, i use GC. I dont find it too hard to tell you the truth. I'd just try playing with both, and eventually you'll be fine.,..

Everything just feels so nice with the GCN controller. My XBox controller is too big, too heavy, too awkward. If I could I would get an adapter to plug my GCN controller into an XBox, but then again I play my XBox so inoften that it wouldnt be worth it to even bother.

but then the adapter could very well not exist

Post by: mikey25nnj on July 22, 2003, 07:17:36 AM: sure GCN controller is great for 3d games but the D-pad isn't all that. Every try playing MKDA with it? The D-pad is so small you always end up tapping more than one way...for example right + up instead of just right.
Anyway, I'll just have to suck it up cause I've looked everywhere
For some reason everything is PS2 to Xbox/gamecube and not the other wy around

Have you even played Soul Calibur II GCN?

And as far as the D-Pad is concerned, I used it plenty in Bloody Roar: Primal Fury without problems.

The XBox's pad is worse, all wavy. THe Gamecube's pad isn't all that pad- it takes a while to get used to, but you eventually do. Did anyone complain about the D-pad being too small on the GBA when Street Fighter was released?

Post by: aoi tsuki on July 22, 2003, 11:06:23 AM: mikey25nnj, i haven't seen an Xbox to GC adapter. GC seems to have the worst support from third parties when it comes to these kinds of adapters. If you're really serious, take WesDawg's suggestion and get an X-Arcade. i hate playing SCII on the GC pad; it's just really ill-suited for fighters, especially compared to the competition's pads. i'm partial to sticks myself; nothing else gives you the instantaneous access you need to all of your buttons.
