Hi all. Here's what I hope someone googling this topic out there has tried.

PS3 console, XCM Battle Adapter, MS XBOX 360 Wireless Game Reciever for Windows, MS XBOX 360 Wireless Force Feedback racing wheel and pedals.

Obviously the goal is to have 1 racing wheel for both consoles w/o buying something new since I already have all of the above save the XCM.

If you know if that works please reply, or just for fun do any of you think it will work or not?

I would think it would work...

Apologies

Short answer..."no"
Long answer "no, it won't mate" (the wireless receiver is for a PC and requires drivers...there's no reason however for someone to design a box to do this, however this version will not)

Hi

I just want to ask..
Has anybody bought this battle adapter
Does it work all the time?

Where is the place or website you bought it from

And also

You know in call of duty 4 for the ps3, the control pad makes the right triggeer throw a grenade and on the 360 controller it makes the right trigger shoot.

So i if i were to plug this in a ps3 and use my xbox 360 controller... would the right trigger throw a grenade or would it be the shoot button

IS there a way of changin it

Thanks

Please reply

He flamed me once but I still like reading his posts. Console fanboy stuff is the funniest thing on the net

I have just ordered an XCM battle adapter from renchi

Buy Cross Battle Adapter (XCM) for PS3 (import) & other Import Video games at RenChi.com

I will keep the thread updated with how I get on.

I have decided to cancel this now. I will be using it with Killzone 2 and as that has elements which require the sixaxis controls then there doesnt seem much point in getting this

Looks like Im gonna have to get used to the PS3 pad instead.

The Saitek PS2700 Rumble Pad, posted previously, might be a good alternative to the official controller.

As far as I know, its no good either as it doesnt support sixaxis control.

360 style pad for the PS3

(see the post by mascot on page 3, reply from Saitek CS)

I've had a Cross Battle, for about a week and it's worked with all the games I've tried. Overall I suppose I'm reasonably pleased with it, but paying nearly £50 was a bit steep IMO.

It's worked best with Resistance 2. As the game play is fairly fast paced, I found it awkward using a DS3. Plugging in a 360 pad and remapping the controls to mirror my COD 4 lay out was great. The first 3 DM's played I managed a 4th place, 2nd and a win.

It does occasionally go a little haywire though. So far, roughly half dozen times I guess, the onscreen character has either locked into a continual right strafe, or he looks straight up spinning in circles. Unplugging from the console and pushing it back in seems to reset it, and can carry on without having to exit the game, but it's annoying when it happens.

If you're tempted to buy this for the supposed "Turbo" function, well just don't, it's a joke! That's when it decides to work of course. If you're looking to turn your pistol in to a P90, forget it, anyone who plays FPS will be able to fire quicker than this little box

I'd say if you're really struggling with the DS3, you're prepared to spend £50, and can put up with the occasional anomaly whilst playing, then it maybe worth a punt. But don't forget you've no six axis control and no vibration compatibility.. Oh, and the Guide button constantly flashing really gets on my tits after a while too

I really dont like the DS3, but I am prepared to put up with it until there is an alternative.

I would have got the XCM as it seems very good and reviews are positive. It was going to cost me £40 from renchi before I cancelled but that was still steep for what it is, and the lack of any sixaxis functionality would render some parts of Killzone 2 impossible without it.

In the meantime I have bought some giotek realtriggers and thumbstick caps so I will see how I get on with those instead

That is awsome and I would love one, but some of the posts he has below suggest that he would charge $400 for one !!!!!???

He says it is the cost of both controllers and the time and effort to build it all but I still cant work out how it comes to nearly £160??

I'd love one of those too. But £160 is a lotta love to give....

I found the instructions for making one here. Looks fiddly though, but definitely doable. Well, maybe...
