I finally found some time to build my self an Arcade Controller for the 360. Found a nice guide with google, but I decided to use an old X-Arcade solo that I had laying around. I choose that in favor of a dreamcast arcade controller I had because this one has more opportunities if I decide I want to change the joystick to one with an easy 4/8-way switch. I'm very pleased with the result.
The only problem I experienced during the conversion was that I first tried to solder the 360 wires while keeping the old wires used for the PC functionality in order to be able to still use it for PC, PS2 or anything else that X-gaming has a converter for, but that didn't work since the 360 wants separate GND for each button. When I ripped out the old wires everything just started working.
