I want to build a 2 player arcade style joystick pad for an xbox display unit i have, i saw a PCB that plugged into the controller ports of an xbox which you wire to joysticks and buttons but cant for the life of me it again.
Anyone seen these and know where i can get one ? I know there is the X-arcade but its not what i'm after.

Something like this.

Ahh...it's like the inverse of getting USB devices to work on Amiga (DB9 serial port)
So it's the other github page I found =)
It wasnt USB, it had 2 xbox controller plugs on one end and terminals for wiring joysticks and buttons to. Wish i bought it when i first saw them on ebay.
How about this one

The xbox controller plug/port is just a USB interface with a 12volt supply rail (for rumble motors) ...that's it, no rocket science. I've hacked xbox controllers before, to make a driving/wheel set (steering, throttle, brake, clutch all on potentiometers, handbrake, gearshift etc on the switch inputs). You've got 6 analog inputs. and I think iirc 12 switch inputs... using the xbox controller board as the real world interface...easypeasy.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?...ie; I could wire 2 joysticks to a single xbox controller, and it'll work -- that said, whether or not the game title will let you map each joystick, both on the one controller, to separate players?...that, I do not know ; I don't play with game consoles. I just happen to know xbox controllers pretty well, because linux has had support for them for years..and I hack =) As that source code is out there, it's reasonably straight forward to program an atmel to do the translation required (for those adapters)

Found others that will work and have been used in an xbox powered arcade cabinet -
