How to Get X Arcade to Work on XBox 360

For serious retro gamers who enjoy arcade style games from the 1980s and 1990s, it can be difficult to find quality arcade sticks to use with today's modern console games. Although there are many cheap imitations of arcade stick controllers available, only a few offer the feel and response of the old stand-up arcade games. The X-Arcade Tankstick is one of these controllers. Although the X-Arcade is compatible with several mainstream gaming platforms, you cannot connect it to an Xbox 360 without two adapter kits.

X-Arcade Xbox 360 adapter (one for each player)
X-Arcade PlayStation 2 kit (includes PS2 X-Adapter cables, 5-in-1 X-Adapter box and console serial cable)
