Can I use a wireless USB network adapter for XBox live?
Q. I want to get wireless Xbox Live for my Xbox. I was wondering if I could use a wireless USB network adapter instead of the Xbox Wireless thing. It would be way cheaper but I don't want to waste money on something that wouldn't work.

A. sorry bro, i saw some posts saying you can but you can't i tried. all xbox stuff have its own microsoft signature, like with the hard drive you can't just replace the 60gb with a 120gb hard drive you need to hack the darn thing, and the memory module is basically a USB thumb drive and can't hard wire one coz there is a microsoft signature on it so it won't recognize any usb drive. best way to do if the router is too far you can share the internet connection if you have a wireless PC near by

USB to Xbox Adapter?
Q. Hi, I created a Xbox to USB adapter, and with drivers, it works great, with the remaining parts of the adapter, i try to create a USB to Xbox but it only works when i put my newly created Xbox to USB converter in, so i know it works, but when i try to put any other joystick in, i get no response, is there some sort of driver i need to install on my xbox before i am able to use a "logitech" with my Xbox?

would a wireless usb adapter for wireless internet work for xbox 360?
Q. I have an xbox 360 and want to get xbox live but dont want to pay 100 dollars for a wireless adapter sold specifically for xbox and I dont want to run a cable across my house either so I was wondering if a normal usb adapter for computer would work because they are much cheaper.

A. No. The one they sell comes with the firmware/software that works specifically with the Xbox. I keep my modem behind my TV so that I can have all my systems hard wired and broadcast wireless to the rest of the house.

Will the PS2 Guitar Hero controller work on the PC or Xbox 360 versions if I buy a USB adapter?
Q. I've got a Guitar Hero controller for the PS2. I was wondering if it would work on the PC if I bought a USB adapter for it (you can buy USB adapters to use PS2 Dual Shock controllers on the PC). And if that worked, would it also work on the Xbox 360?
Asked by reddragon105 - Wed Jan 2 19:41:01 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. I have used the PS2 guitar on the game 'Frets of fire', on the PC via the USB/PS2 adapter. Frets of fire is the freeware game that is similar to Guitar Hero. Whether or not its going to work for the PC version of GH3 is another matter since they are, apparently bundling the old 360 GH2 Explorer guitar with GH3 on the PC. I would think there's a good chance it will work though. They must realise that people with PS2's and PC's have the game and don't need another guitar. Fingers crossed.

A. Unfortunately, you can only use the genuine one from microsoft ($99 USD) or I've seen a thrid party one for about $80 USD, however I haven't tried that third party brand and I'm not sure if it works correctly. One option is to look for one at ebay, I bought mine there for about $60 USD, since you mention Euro I'm not sure of your location or what option you may have, hope this helps.

This includes wi-fi, hard drives, headsets, all the computer stuff you could normally find in your house but has been made redundant by Microsoft. It is a monopoly and should not be allowed.

A. Disregard what the answerers above say. As this is not a USB device that needs control by the Xbox, you can buy this device and connect it to the 360 with an ethernet cord. The Xbox will still think its connected to a (slow) wired ethernet network, while the device will "translate" your network wirelessly to your WLAN router. So, yes you can use the device. And if it is really able to emulate a client as the description says, your NAT status will also not change.
