hell hell-o!
is there a way (homebrew, xbox neighborhood,..) to review an historic of button pressed in a game? or to view on the computer, a streamed of the action used in game?
Thanks!

Trying to use 360 controllers wirelessly on a PC is a pain, much less intercept things usefully. No chance of a simple plug and play device or fiddle for 10 minutes bit of software.

Your main best bet would be to tap off the debug ports on the board that people use to do the rapid fire, external controller or whatever (ben heck did a bunch of them for various purposes, and there are any number of external input type projects you could see for examples) and fly them to something like an arduino or teensy which in turn goes to a PC. Taking data in from serial is usually if not in the tutorial on how to use the devices then in a million example projects. Wired or wireless should both be amenable for this one.
While you are at it you might as well do the reverse as well and do some fun inputs as well.

Trying to sync them for a video (much less live if the whole streaming nonsense is stuff you do) gets a bit harder, but most of them have buttons on you could probably use to fake such a thing (assuming you don't just do an odd button combo or flash the profile/middle button screen up to use as a sync point). That said take timing data from it and you could probably make a nice enough subtitle track with a bit of find and replace.

thanks for the reply FAST!
yeah i already can use x360 controllers on pc with the homemade receiver i made, with a rrod receiver :P

but anyway, all this is too much fiddle for the purpose i have..
..all i want, is to find the exact combo i pressed to freeze a specific menu in an x360 game.. i made something that i can use when the menu is frozen but i dont know wich exact buttons i pressed.. i press every buttons fast and eventually it freezes.
i need to find the exact combo to make sure i can upload something stable and without having to press every buttons like a crazy salty call of duty player..

..thus why i am looking for testers lately.. the sooner i get help, the sooner people will be able to play games like titanfall and destiny on their jtag/rgh.

In that case it is even more worth doing some kind of auto input mod -- such things are all about being able to do precisely timed button inputs of whatever you want (possibly including impossible combos like left and right on the dpad at once). Make a list of inputs to try with such a thing (again if firing collections of outputs is not in the tutorial it will be in a thousand example projects).

I also forgot last time that the teensy family (not sure about modern arduino) can pretend to be a keyboard so you could easily set it to output key presses and convert them back into whatever you want (and possibly timestamp things as well/send the results of its internal timer every however many milliseconds).

As for having a homemade adapter then nice, however if you can do that then surely you can fly a few wires from an old pad to a cheap programmable chip? Anyway I don't know that anything is encrypted but given none of the controller adapters (think keyboard and mouse adapter) ever intercepted things all wanted a wired thing to fake it I imagine it is not going to be a simple radio you can tap and packet analyse via said adapter, much less use it to silently intercept.

I am curious though about the end results of this. Outside king kong and that XBLA end of demo bypass I did not expect game based exploits to be of any use for the 360.

about the controller receiver it was easy since i had old parts, and m$ used a modified usb port so it was just about soldering a usb cable to it and the driver is the official one, everyone can do it, it doesnt mean that i can do the extra steps to make an auto input mod, its not like i get money for it so i dont have money to spend on this..its not like the scene is active, at first the only reason i done this was because i wanted to play destiny so badly. But then i learned that titanfall was also incompatible and i have the game, so i use it to test.

as for the exploit, i would NOT say its an exploit, because its only a custom update i made to replace the data center menu in the main menu, wich links to another server (empty for now) once the vanilla menu is froze..

if you are so curious , why not help me then? :P
been looking for testers for a week and no one even proposed so, if the scene is that dead, why would i make all these extra steps if i end up being alone in game?..

if the scene was active i would not even ask myself the question, i would do it without hesitation and upload it so that people can polish it and maybe use the same method for Destiny..wich, in the end, was the game i actually want to play online.. but i cant find anything ''broken'' in the main menu of destiny, surely someone else could..

As of now, weeks are passing by, birthday approach, march 13th i am reinstalling games i left aside like fallout76, Atlas, state of decay 2, and a game i didnt play yet Division 2. So i dont know where my motivation will be then, toward titanfall and destiny..
if the scene doesnt move, i guess it will do the same as what happenned to my wiiU menu alternative (i dont even understand why nobody done one yet, people wanted one so badly, then, before leaving temporarly the scene i praticly explain how i done it, same for BullyWiiPlaza but, nobody made one..
its like, the modding scenes are now ''i cant create but i can leech!'' instead of ''lets all help eachother to keep modding active!'')
And thats because of mods and admins who demotivates others by thinking that everything that can be done is already done. wich is NOT how modding started. Moderators now are not even chosen because they are good in what they do, its only because they are the only one still active .. they once where good, but now, they are closed minded, wich is why the scene is soooo slow. Or maybe its because they dont like it when someone arrives with something new to them so they reply ''nah its impossible or else i would no about it''..


all in all, if someone help me before march 13th, i will upload my custom update for titanfall, with the hope that someone will make this work for Destiny, cause honestly, i have zero idea about how to do it in destiny..and without custom update, it keeps trying to connect to bungie servers..
i even tried making a mod for it to bypass completly the main menu,.. a cinemat1c starts, and then it just crash to fsd.. i think nothing can be done for destiny ..
