Hardware Using a USB hub for a controller multitap.

[laukinming]

On my phat XBOX 360 system, I have used most of my USB ports for hard drives. I have one left that I plug an XBOX 360 USB controller on. I need more controller inputs.

Would using a USB hub to input more controllers be a viable solution?

as a non-xbox-owner, i can only say "probably".
but since the xbox is manufactured by the same caompany as windows, i raise my guess to "likely"

maybe googling yields a definitve result...

usb hubs should work fine

I'd strongly advise you have it powered though or you could burn out the board in an hdd or controller.

@godreborn, so I might want a USB hub that plugs into a wall, true/false?

you want a powered usb hub, not one that takes power from the device it plugged into, it will have its own power supply (yes that you plug into the wall)
