Xbox360 in Blast City

Post by Mrhide »

In order to make my 360 work within the blast city, for the sole purpose of playing Dodonpachi SaiDaiOujou, I bought

- brook ultimate board ~ 80$
- Rock Candy pad ~ 23$
- 12 pin amp connectors ~ 1.54$
- pins for above connectors ~ 0.12$ ( so ... this and that oh and this too! and shipping = 50$ digikey order ;) ... )
- xbox 360 to VGA + RCA cable ~ 15$

The goal was to make this thing non invasive to the blast and no modification to it either and be portable to perhaps the Switch and / or a PC.

I am happy to say it's a success and the game is GREAT.

pictures to show:

- the really nice and easy hack to the rock candy pad

- The RCA to the jamma loom connector which is then feed to the power supply sound amp

- The (temporary!) way in for the connectors. so basically I unplug from the cab and plug these in and I'm ready to go.

oh ... and of course, I now bough mortal kombat and SF IV so I will now add another connector for the kick harness and be able to move these between my 2 Blasts :) thus why I bought the overkill brook ultimate board... I might build a portable fight stick to play on the switch with poken tournament comes out ;)

and I also bought espgaluda 2...and Mushihime-Sama Futari ...and Deathsmiles 2 but it's region lock so ... not sure I want hack it more so might be willing to trade it for something else. (tate please)

Hoping this helps somebody, ask away if you have questions!
