XBox and X-Arcade problem

[RygarR]

Anyone got any experience of Coin Ops emulation pack on a soft-modded X Box 1?I've been trying to use it with an X Arcade twin joystick with X Box Adaptor. Only problem is, the joystick ain't working. It works fine on my PC with the PC USB adaptor, and although the XBox dongle is letting power through - as demo:ed by the shiney LED on the CP, the inputs don't register on the XBox

Is there some arcane secret here that I'm missing, or is it time to bin the XBox adaptor and get a new one?

Yeah. I'm using the Coin Ops emulator on a soft-modded XBox 1. Not quite Mame, I know, but pretty similar.

Thing is, I'm new to XBoxes (10 years too late!!!), and hoping, probably in vain, that there's an easier and cheaper solution to getting my X-Arcade to work with it than buying a new adaptor...

are you using the latest version of coinops? what dash are you using? can you test your hardware on another xbox?

the more info you put into a post the more it help people give you an answer.

Good point C.

Like I said, I'm new to the XBox 1 - so be gentle with me.

The XBox is running XBMC, and its Coin Ops 1. I've tried booting into the only original game I have (Splinter Cell) but that doesn't accept inputs from the X-Arcade either. Neither, for that matter, does XBMC or the other emulators I can launch from it.

I suspect the adaptor I'm using is a dud. I got it as a freebie about 5 years ago and have never even tried to use it until about a week ago. I was just wondering if there might be an extra bit of software I had to install, or any known compatibility issues...

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone else nearby who's still got an XBox. So I can't test it easily...

Am now wondering whether it's worthwhile spending the £35 on a new adaptor, or selling the Xbox and putting the cash towards my Jamma Cab fund.
