Try the m$ sidewinder usb drivers. Bill Gates likes to recycle code.

A long shot, but it shouldn't hurt anything.

: I've got an X-box controller patched to a USB extension cord (ignoring the 5th wire from the controller). When I plug it in WinXP a couple of devices show up. Microsoft USB controller and USB device. All I need now is a USB driver. Any takers?

: The hack was simple. After much deliberation and research, it just turned out to be connecting the same color wires together. Of course your wires may be different. The 5th wire could prove to be a challenge, though. I think it could be power for the USB controller (mem packs) and data for the rumble pack multiplexed on one line.
