X-Arcade Tankstick adapter now available for the X-Box 360

X-arcade has a reputation for being a little laggy unfortunately.

What systems does it supposedly lag on? Currently, I've only got the Dreamcast converter, so I only play it on the DC and my computer. I haven't noticed anything, but is it just that certain systems have more issues?

As long as it's only noticeable to the highly-trained eye, then I honestly don't care. People have always told me that using a wireless mouse is awful for FPSs, but it's never cost me a death. (If anything, having wires get tangled up costs me more deaths.)

Hmm... I wonder what kind of lag is experienced using this method. I doubt the result will be spot on, instant input.

Almost sounds like connecting a Playstation controller through a Playstation to Saturn adapter and then running that through a Sega Saturn to Dreamcast adapter.

It's quadrophenia baby!

I love how the DC is just freaking out not knowing what to do.

Very tempting - since modding a 360 controller is awful (no common grounds). I woudl have to mod the xarcade though, the buttons just dont do it for me. I did comeup with a control layout for Castle Crashers that might work in an arcade format.

Does it work for the trackball? If so, spinner for Space Giraffe

The original Xbox is the one I keep hearing complaints about. Most people don't notice, but the hard core fighter fans do. I can't vouch for it myself, I haven't bought an Xbox adaptor because of all the bad things I've heard. Most of the bad reviews are pretty old though, so maybe it's been addressed.

On top of that, the PS2 (the port, not the console) cable doesn't work on the PC I intended to use it with, and USB doesn't work on any computer I've tested it on. I'm glad I got it 2nd hand for cheap, since it's been a hassle.

I do have the trackball controller too, and that one's a dream. But lag isn't really an issue for Missile Command.

It's a shame it doesn't seem to work for you - I use the X-Arcade for all of my fighters, shmups and beat 'em ups, and it's been great. Also love using the trackball for Golden Tee series.

If it's just Xbox, while that is a shame (so many SNK games), at least it doesn't include the PS2 and PS3, which is what I plan to buy for it next.
