XCM 360 to PS3 converter REVIEWED!

Wassup guys.

Just to let everyone know I bought the adapter xbox 360 - ps3 adapter ($50). And to be honest I’m not impressed. I have a stick from arcade in a box (360) then i plug into the cross adapter into the ps3. Everything works like it should but I notice a lag. I don’t even use a usb ext. cable either. The big issue i have is doing the super in HD remix. I can never do it consistently. And that’s my bread and butter when i play. But when I go back to 360 my super’s come out on point. I plan to even sell it because its unplayable. But I notice that some tourneys are using ps3’s. This is mine experience so it may differ with other player with different sticks. Theirs something that’s not as fluid on the ps3. I even tried this stick on GGPO with the xbox driver, and its smooth as butter playing ST. I do have both consoles and I like XBL has better competition and more players. If we have tourneys lets make a standard. I don’t care who wins. But I’ll have my $0.02 for the X360.

Peace

xcm cross battle adapter

Hey guys,

I just received the xcm cross battle adapter myself and put it to the test immediately. I am using a MGS4 Bundle PS3 and a Hori Real Arcade Pro EX stick for the X360. Here are my 1st impressions:

Worked right out of the box. I tested Tekken V DR and I did not notice any lag. So far so good! Should play well with SFIV
DOESNT WORK WITH BC games!!! No Street Fighter Anniversary or Alpha Anthology for me (at least on the PS3)
DOES work with BC games purchased from the Playstation store! Street Fighter Alpha (PSOne) and SSF2THD perform with no noticeable lag.
Does NOT work with MacMAME!!! Real bummer there, I was hoping to use another arcade stick for emulation ( I also own a HRAP3 that does work seamlessly)

It seems apparent that the X360 Madcatz TE stick will not work with BC (PS2) games on the PS3 either after conducting this test. Can’t wait to hear from Markman for the official word.

Thanks for the review Lmatic. We now have two conflicting member reviews. We need a tie-breaker. Looking forward to MarkMan’s review even more than before now.

nice, play more HDR and let us know.

Hmm… I would be cautious about this guy… Registered on 1-11-09 and his first post is today…

Could be PR person in disguised spreading false advertismenet

System_1 · January 31, 2009, 1:01pm

i know im new to the forum but im here for the same reason everyone else is: SFIV. I do have 360 TE’s on the way and it would be nice to use them on the PS3.

For now, still doing some long term testing w/ the hori pro EX.

Dandy_J · January 31, 2009, 3:36pm

Good looking out on the compatibility info, but just playing stuff and anecdotal evidence isn’t enough to test for lag.

Rickstah · January 31, 2009, 3:43pm

I’ve read some reviews on 8wayrun.com from members that own the converter.

Apparently works fine with a 360 pad, but with a stick there is noticeable lag.

Does anyone know about Arcade-in-a-Box’s dual function sticks? Are they any good?

MarkMan · February 1, 2009, 1:07am

Sounds about right. I expected as much.

Seems like they just used the same tech as their XCM FPS converter. -_-

Thanks Rickstah~!

Sleazoid · February 2, 2009, 3:36am

So… a custom stick with a Madcatz 360 PCB in it will work just fine?

Alright, that’s cooool. Saves me a ton of effort to use a 360 PCB + this as opposed to wiring up a universal PCB. :looney:

Toodles · February 2, 2009, 3:56am

What do you want to know about it? It’s the same thing described in the ‘2 pcbs in one stick’ thread, and works great. However, you should ask in the AiaB thread.

infoseeker · February 2, 2009, 11:33am

if “just fine” means “no lag” then it’s all good.

System_1 · February 2, 2009, 4:08pm

Any news on a tiebreaker review…

demonrush · February 3, 2009, 7:17am

bumping this thread for justice

chibishadow · February 3, 2009, 11:40am

I really hope there’s no lag at all on it. For those 360 owners who bought a TE stick, what are you guys going to do? I’m espicially worried because I won’t even be able to play HD:remix or SFIV @ evo :/.

Lusche · February 3, 2009, 11:45am

it would be a shame if this lags … if nothing helps im gonna get a MC Cthulhu and mod my TE …

CowboyK · February 4, 2009, 7:12am

Wow, they are really taking their sweet time to send it to MarkMan.

MarkMan found out about them sending it to him on Jan 19, and now is Feb 2. Did they send this through MediaMail or something? What kind of shipping did they use?!

Dan_s_Student · February 4, 2009, 8:03am

I mentioned this in the converter thread but no one paid attention, the link for the lag tester does NOT work. Bummed me out because I wanted to test an older converter I found that is performing exceptionally well. I still wanted to see if there were any frame delay anyways using the program, but to no avail.
