Old Xbox – New Wireless Tricks

Finding out this thing even existed

I think it was a post of a Facebook group of someone building one of these that led me to finding out about them and then the project sat on my to-do list for months before I ordered the parts for it. Its called the OGX360 by Ryzee119 on Github. Only to discover that the parts are all out of stock everywhere or obsolete. Took months of scouring AliExpress and Mouser to get everything together to start.

Sourcing the parts and painfully putting it together

Finding the USB Controller chips and the fuses were the worst part. Once I had them in hand it was fairly straight forward to solder altogether, albeit a bit fiddly working with the small parts. Once soldered, I ended up digging through the GitHub and found this beta version of a GUI flasher software that basically lets you plug it in via USB, hold the reset button and click program assuming you have the GUI setup with the correct files etc. I managed to flash 3/4 of the modules with one of the ATmega modules being DOA and I had to order a new one. 

Printing some cases and testing them out

I did the initial testing with a wired Xbox One Controller and it worked perfectly. I then ordered the 8bitdo USB receiver to be able to use the Xbox One Controllers.

The STL I used for the case is this one
