Support NeoGAF

[Coldsun]

It's been less than a month and they've basically cracked the security wide open. It's just a matter of time till we see custom firmware.

Hardly. The security around the firmware has in no way been compromised as of yet.

 

[Kajiba]

Oh fightpads and arcade sticks please!

This.

 

[IvorB]

This isn't a Xbox One mod, this is a controller addon that takes a variety of USB pads as inputs and converts it so as to fake an Xbox One controller.

This is still great news though, but it needs to be lagless for it to actually be worthwhile. I can see a lot of fighting game fans picking this up if so.

Oh okay. That's different. This is no mod. Nothing to see here. OP is misleading.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

Oh okay. That's different. This is no mod. Nothing to see here. OP is misleading.

In OP's defense, the linked article is every bit as misleading.

 

[IllumiNate]

Would this allow me to use my PS3 TE2 fightstick with the XB1?

 

[Marvel]

Interesting.

 

[zainetor]

Would this allow me to use my PS3 TE2 fightstick with the XB1?

He does it in the video.

 

[Neuro]

Xbone Mods like these is teh secret sauce...

 

[Amauri14]

Well, that was rather quickly.

 

[coolasj19]

It's been less than a month and they've basically cracked the security wide open. It's just a matter of time till we see custom firmware.

Ummmm, no? So it's just a thing that makes other things output XB1 signals. Does that mean XB1 PC Incoming too?

 

[RyudBoy]

Watched the video just now. Is it just me or does it look like there's some input lag when he's using the stick? Big deal breaker if there is.

 

[captainraincoat]

Oh yeah...i can use my specially made 360 control now instead of old loosestick xbone controller

lets hope they figure out the cross play thing so i dont have to use that fucking ds4 anymore

 

[FSLink]

OH YEAH GET HYP-

Cronus doesn't have a great rep in the fighting game community, fwiw. I know some specific models of their converter dongles have been banned at tournaments because they cause input drops on the other player's controller.

Oh. :/

 

[c0de]

So is it a program on a PC emulating the signals of a Xone controller, or is there some deeper modification of the console ? They're talking about invalidating warranty, so I suppose there's some action required on the console itself.

More like a programmable usb-stick (fpga?) which translates signals from $any to $target.

 

[soundscream]

Does it "unlock" Fanatec wheels to use with the Forza 5?

Better question is if it unlocks g25/27

 

[Hasney]

Oh fightpads and arcade sticks please!

This.

They work. I posted the full list of devices on the previous page.

 

[iJudged]

Holy shit, mouse and keyboard Dominion coming up, this is Fucking awesome.

 

[VE3TRO]

Seemed to be some latency issues when using the keyboard and mouse. Looks great though.

 

[Senor Kami]

Can't watch the video, but is this purely an external mod that requires no modding inside of the system? If your system broke later, would there be any trace of it that could lead to a voided warranty?

Looks like just a USB stick that plugs in, through which you plug in the device of choice.

 

[Skilotonn]

A couple of you guys need to turn down the hyperbole, damn.

Anyways, I never dabble in these things, but being able to use my 360 TE arcade stick is great to read for whenever I pick up the XB1.

 

[TheCloser]

Ummmm, no? So it's just a thing that makes other things output XB1 signals. Does that mean XB1 PC Incoming too?

I'm not referring to this video but the nand incident.

 

[PandaPedinte]

What in god's fuck is going on with this console? First the (freezeone.reboot) magic, and now this?

~oh my!~

Secret sauce.

 

[DarkFlow]

Except for the fact hackers managed to dump the nand of Xbox one less than a week after it came out. That must be a record.

It's basically a PC, what do you expect? Both systems are going to get cracked wide open at some point based on the PC architecture.

 

[Garrett 2U]

So I could buy a 360 fight stick and use it for Killer Instinct with this mod?
I'm not even big into fighters but I'd totally do that.

 

[Recall]

Oh fightpads and arcade sticks please!

Hundreds of dollars worth of Xbox 360 fight sticks to have continued life? Yes please.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

He does that in the video.

 

[ChronoX]

Keyboard and mouse on a console shooter? My horns are already growing >

Do you guys also think that converting MP3 into WAV increases audio quality?

 

[saladine1]

I NEED TO KNOW THIS!!

Will buy two if it works with fightpads and arcade sticks.

 

[Terbinator]

I laughed.

 

[Satchel]

Yes. My DOA fight stick

 

[NemesisPrime]

All I can think about is how KB&M users will dominate in MP shooters on Xbone. Hope this won't happen.

This device just pretends to be an XO controller... nothing it can do to improve speed/accuracy. Keyboard/mouse support for this device is probably a bad joke.

Incredible misleading (on purpose probably) OT title TBH.

 

[Guymelef]

Seems like the will add PS4 support in the future, cool.

 

[Duxxy3]

Love it. So when I do get an xbox one I won't have to use the new controller. I simply prefer the older controller. Only concern is the latency.

 

[Megasoum]

Does this mean Fanatec wheels, etc., will work?

It wouldn't add 360 fanatec support since that was wireless only.

It could add g25 support which mean the Fanatec wheels could work in ps3 mode. However I really doubt it would actually convert the FFB. Especially if what MS said is true and they changed the FFB completely on the new console.

Having a wheel without FFB is useless.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Enjoy the KB/M dominance.

 

[Binabik15]

a mod that everyone will love

Nah, there will be people calling this peripheral piracy and urging people to think of the poor corporations.

 

[ShinAmano]

I seriously want to order now gor shipping tomorrow so I can really dig into killer instinct asap!

 

[shem935]

I suspect a new firmware update is incoming soon.

 

[Haunted]

Well, that makes MS just look like complete dicks now.

Taking out support for controllers even though the console is perfectly able to handle them (as proven by this mod).

 

[iJudged]

I agree. Just let us use whatever the hell we want lol.

 

[gillFTR]

There was already a product for that its called the XIM and it was pretty good.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Oh my gosh!

That is pretty darn neat and awesome.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Bu-bu-bu it's new console!

.....It's a converter, not a "mod."

The OP and article are worded poorly. It's not your fault. But still.

 

[Doomshroom]

So everyone will start using mouse & keyboard in Cod and Titanfall?

 

[Billen]

Holy shit, mouse and keyboard Dominion coming up, this is Fucking awesome.

Keyboard and mouse on a console shooter? My horns are already growing >

Enjoy the KB/M dominance.

This controller does not magically convert the control schemes, however, and it does cannot to change the speed/acceleration of the controls. Since the game is made with a controller in mind, when moving the mouse it will still (in most cases) be with a feeling of incredible sluggishness and/or jankiness that many mouse/keyboard players find even worse than FPS gaming with a controller.

 

[iJudged]

Ok, what about chat? Where do I plug in my headset when using keyboard and mouse?
