I just finished creating my custom xbox 360 80's arcade cabinet and I am trying to wire the contacts of a normal xbox 360 controller to the arcade buttons on the face of my cabinet. Can I make a direct connection between them or do I need more components?
A truly wise man can entertain a thought without accepting it. A fool cannot withhold past judgments but instead closes his mine to new possibilities. Someone who wants to innovate simply needs to forget what everyone says isn't possible.

You should be able to just run the wires for the buttons to the 360 controller's circuit board.chainfire95 wrote:I just finished creating my custom xbox 360 80's arcade cabinet and I am trying to wire the contacts of a normal xbox 360 controller to the arcade buttons on the face of my cabinet.

Re: Xbox 360 button MOD
If i understand you then,
If you plan to use the LT/RT then I think i heard that you have to have a resistor and it has to be wired up a little different.
(Im thinking about making a ps2 arcade controller

Re: Xbox 360 button MOD
Ive decided to post some pics of what I have done so far. Without the buttons
Here they are.
These are older pics, since these I have finished the painting and lighting and drilled the rest of the holes for the controller buttons on the front plate. I also installed controller mounts on both sides.

By the way, the Christmas light were only to test the opacity of the marquee.
