Xbox 360 controller authentication has been cracked! This is on a totally unmodified Xbox 360 console. All you need to try for yourself is a cheap Pi Pico W and the joypad-os firmware. The pi pico is able to totally simulate a real 360 controller.

Joypad OS allows mankind to rise to greater heights than ever imagined...

Joypad-os flavored Zyn

🤣🤣🤣 that’s actually a nice enclosure

"the authentication has been cracked" >Looks inside >10 dollar dongle

The dongle is 100% simulating the original controller and responding to authentication checks in the same way. As far as the console is concerned it is authentic. Doing this all outside the console so new custom controllers and adapters can be made for it.

I understand it but my take is that fixing software with adding hardware kinda defeats the purpose for a lot of people. It's still cool and needed discovery but i think a bit overhyped/oversold IMO

Does it work with the Pi Pico RP2040?

Yup, firmware is based on it and supports many boards using it.

Nice, thanks

This doesnt use the OGX360 or Emmas driver hack?

Nope. Using my joypad-os firmware and a pico

is this on a stock xbox 360?

No mods. Just a simple pico based controller adapter with my open source firmware

@PavelWavel that's great, but can you link to the firmware?

@PavelWavel link in the bio.

Hasn't the authentication been cracked for like... a decade? @RetroCultMods already has an adapter for Wii controllers that works on stock 360s out of the box, and I remember reading something else about connecting a TI-84 to their 360 to send inputs to a stock 360 ages ago.

Honestly it’s kinda insane that there wasn’t an adapter or firmware update that let an X1 or SX controller work on a 360, especially since you can use those on 360 games anyways via BC. At least the community can pick up microsoft’s slack (again).

This is great, but all Microsoft needs to do is should turn on back compatibility mode with the rest of the 360 games then we can play them natively on modern hardware yeah it would be nice if they wanted to go through the catalogue and enhance the experience to work at 4K 60…

Is there a repository firmware for the various systems using Joypad OS? also in regards of thoses systems wouldnt be needing level shifters on the pico?

Thank you Robert! Its nice that has a lot of button layouts for the Neo Geo. Regarding the hardware. Wouldn't be needing level shifters when using the pico?

Does this work the other way around as in being able to connect an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller to your computer without the use of an official usb adapter?

For people asking all the questions I’ve been using this setup for the last year or so. Works amazing and the latency is there but hardly noticeable. Picos are cheaper than any adapter you’ll find on the market by ALOT.

I’ve got my usb2usb pico based firmware down to sub millisecond latency

Now we need an Xbox 360 controller to connect to an Xbox Series console.

Next 😉

Oh, thanks, buddy. I'm tired of buying generic controllers for the Xbox 360.

the input lag on this will be mental

It’s negligible even with button remapping profiles. Measured around 0.7ms

Cool, when do we get xbox one kinect compatibility /s

Any input latency?

Jailbreaker

been using a brook xb2, whats the difference with the raspberry pi?

This is incredible! 🤩 Can it turn on the Xbox by holding down the XBOX button?

The pico is the goat the amount of tools this device has helped with modding

Does it add any lag

I love the old sony tv 🩶

How much latency does this introduce?

Negligible. Less than ms

@Kilgore777 have you tested this or just off feel?

@Kilgore777 I feel zero lag. Actual tests measured around 0.7ms

Funciona perfecto en mi xbox 360 con una Raspberry pico W😎 Muchas gracias por tu trabajo

YES!!!

@elisdee_one Follow these instructions 👈

will this work with wired controllers like the logitech f310?

Yup

O joypad os suporta o controle game sir T4 nova lite para o Xbox 360?

Yup. Should support just about any USB controller. Especially those that do xinput or Switch output.

Can we use PS3 guitar hero controllers as Xbox controllers now?

Should work now but I’ve not tested. Can easily add support if it doesn’t

It looks amazing Robert, can you also power on the 360?

No but I’m looking into it. Should be possible some how since a normal controller can.

Can I hook up four controllers to one dongle?

Yes but they will behave as one merged controller input. Maybe in the future I can pull off multiple simulated devices on a single USB.

Thank you

Using an HD console on a crt okay

What about the keypad?

Not yet but it’s possible

Is rumble supported with Dualsense?

@Useful_Idiot yup!

This is seriously cool! I may have to consider this

As someone who still holds tournaments with old 360s, you have no idea how big fucking news this is to me

@SPgamer786 look at Dirts tv help him out bro , I’ll drop 150 rn if we can get Dirt a 4ki 69 fps new tv
