xbox controller info needed

[stuntpenguin007]

I'm looking at using an xbox controller on an n64 similar to the cube64 which uses a gamecube controller on the n64. (Which I have built)

So when the n64 controller communicates with the n64 it basically has a set of bytes set aside that if something is written to, it tells the system that the button is being pressed, and vice versa for the rumble pack and memory card.

Anyways, I've got a lot of technical info about the n64 controller saved on my computer, such as which bytes being written to do what, how to tell the n64 if the controller has a rumble pack or a memory card etc.

But I can't seem to find any technical information on the xbox controller. Does anyone know where info like this might exist. Do usb device debuggers exist? If so I could use one of my usb xbox controllers, run it through the debugger and then convert it back into an xbox connector.

Thanks... and I'm sure it will happen somewhere in the next few posts... feel free to shoot down my idea and tell me it's impossible


Edit: here is sort of what I was talking about for the n64 controller

If you don't plan to be able to use the xbox controller for an xbox anymore and have a spare N64 controller, I imagine you could use the logic of the nintendo controller inside the xbox shell, but it would be a bit harder to customize your controls that way.

If you want a software based solution though, I think this might be helpful, but you're looking at a lot more work this way.
You should also be able to find more of this type of information from the development of XBCD (where I got it. . .)

Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for.

I don't really want to piggyback the xbox controller off of the n64 controller because I'd like to try my luck with a little bigger pic project.

So on a usb device, like the xbox controller, would data + be out going signals, like which buttons are being pressed and data - be incoming signals like telling the controllers rumble motors to turn on, requesting feedback from memory card etc?

I need to figure out how to wire it up before I can start programming my pic soooo yeah.
