January 9, 2009BenHeck 3600 Controller
Posted by The Ori
Yesterday Ben Heck had a Facebook status as saying I was “being frustrated by potentiometers” – a rather normal day for him. For whatever reason this prompted one of his friends to suggest he build an Xbox 360 controller inside of an Atari 2600 controller shell; and so he thought “That’s dumb enough to work!”
Well, 5 hours later he had what you see down below – the Xbox 3600 controller! This is an Atari 2600 controller with wireless Xbox 360 controller guts inside of it (not entirely true, read on), batteries too. The big red “fire” button is “A”, and the other buttons are attached to the side.
Ok, so you need to know that the Xbox 3600 wireless controller was accomplished by using the guts of ,not a normal 360 wireless controller, but the circuits froma Guitar Hero 3 controller. You can tell by looking at the PCBoard, that it is NOT a OEM 360 controller. The GH3 PCBoard provides anyone with an easy method to make their own controller.
hey man sorry to post on this thread, but i wanted to catch your attention…
a new official version of iprep has come out on January 6th. I think you missed it bcuz i only see the beta on your post…
with this new version of iprep, only one firmware version is needed in order to work, instead of all three. I dont know if this makes it easier, but just wanted to keep u informed. Take care

I posted that on the 6th, and they said Beta. If you click on the site link anyway, you can download the non beta version.
Your not suppose to use two different battery types! :P

Hey, anyone know any of the specifics on the xbox remote, such as wave length, channel codes, etc?
