Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it would be possible to get the X-Arcade (X-Aracde Two Player) to work with the Amiga. It operates as a PC keyboard sending the signal through a cable ending with a male DB-9 connector, and from there is connected to a USB converter for use with my Mac. I know they sell separate adaptors to use this controller with the XBox, PS2, and Gamecube, but I thought it would be rather nice to use it with my miggy.
Any ideas on how I could build a converter box to use this for two player games? Getting two buttons per person functionality would be great, though I'd even settle for one. Thanks in advance!
I might be oversimplifying but it says it doesn't require drivers for most OSs because it works as a standard keyboard. Since it has an adapter to go USB, wouldn't a USB card for your Amiga allow you to use it as a keyboard. The last I looked most standard USB keyboards were supported.
It's worth a try anyway. Of course, you need an Amiga USB card and a $200USD tankstick to try it out.
If it works, let me know, I'll be buying a tankstick this year for my Retro-Arcade project.
