Hey guys,

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a wired xbox 360 controller on the wii?

I don't mind if it's via a converter unit of some kind that i need to buy.

It would be possible if there were a CIOS that were made to handle the input but I doubt one will ever exist. In order for there to be any hardware to act as a middleman there would still need to be a CIOS if it were going to work via USB (which would make no sense whatsoever) and even for the GC controller ports there would be the majority of games not being supported since very few have native GC controller support. So the only feasible piece of hardware would be one that took the input from the 360 controller via USB and sent it via BT to the Wii. It is highly doubtful that anyone will ever attempt to do this to make as an end user product simply because the cost of developing it vs the amount of possible sales is very poor.

You can buy an adapter where you can plug in a Playstation 1/2 controller into it, and it plugs into the Gamecube port, that's as close as you'll ever get to an Xbox controller...

Ah thats a shame - I have a arcade stick I wanted to try out with Tatsunoko Vs Capcom but its designed for the 360 (it's a HRAP EX).

Thanks for the quick replies

Hmm. I think that the key here is that on the pc there are many programs/drivers to allow easy use of custom joysticks/pads.

On the wii not so much.

I really wish my programming skills were up to the task of writing a cios but sadly they are not even close.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
