I saw the SNES controller add-on for the Ipod, and was wondering if it would be possible to do the same thing with an Xbox 360 controller. With the emergence of decent gaming on the Ipod, a controller would be helpful, like in the Ipod version of COD: Zombies. Im thinking that if you could split the controller in half and attach a USB to transfer the information to the ipod and have some kind of program installed on the ipod to interpret the presses, just like on a computer, it might be possible. If anybody has any experience or ideas, they would be appreciated. Grin

It could probably be done, especially if you could have it transmit wirelessly.

I assume you are meaning an iPod Touch?

It'd be kinda hard to use though. Not as ergonomic.

Spoiler for IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Microsoft uses their own proprietary wireless protocol for the Xbox 360 remote, so I doubt it'll be possible, unless you manage to plug the USB dongle thing to the iPod communication socket, but still I doubt you could do that (Apple proprietary stuff).

You can't just attach a 360 controller (or any USB peripheral) to an iPod/iPod touch/iPhone. They only support peripheral mode, and in a USB connection, one device must always be the host.

It's easy to communicate with a 360 controller via PC (or any other USB host) -- the problem is the reverse, trying to be a 360 controller when attached to an Xbox 360, because the console has security checks over the USB protocol to make sure that the attached peripheral is a licensed Microsoft accessory (like a 360 controller).

The best you can hope for is custom code on the iPod/iPhone/iPod touch that communicates with an Arduino or some other USB-host-capable device (which is then connected to the controller), but I doubt you're ever going to get that to work with official games.

Unless of course I'm missing something, which is why I asked what "SNES controller add-on" you're referring to.

Doesn't the iPod Touch also have a special USB port where nothing else than the cable that comes with the iPod Touch can fit?

It's called a dock connector, yes. But that cable is just a standard USB cable, the other end of which can be adapted to whatever you need.

Ah thanks. The first time I ever saw that kind of connector was when I got my iPod touch.
