I'd like to get that setup but I'll have to look into those links a little more. The few minutes I checked it out, I have no idea what I need to order lol. It's kind of confusing the way the ads are laid out.

You'll need:
- board for $35
- micro USB cable to oXbox controller port per controller for $4
- 360 USB dongle (bought separately, varies but I see $13 on Ebay).

You're at ~$52 assuming you own a 360 controller.

3D printed case optional for $10 putting it at $62.

I own a standard oXbox controller to USB cable already, so I was going to get a USB to micro USB... but his all in 1 cable is only $4.

There's a 4 player option for $80 before separate dongle.

Worth noting this also works with the 8bit Duo controllers. Pretty cool solution for the emus & MAME on oXbox!

Good point. I hate using 4 face button controllers for sega emus. Just feels off.
