Photobooth is still work in progress,but I thought this was worth posting in case someone ever needs to make a quick controller.
Basically, I took an old xbox controller (actually it was an xbox dance pad) cut the plug off and hackishly soldered a USB plug to it.
(Pretty much color to color ignoring an extra yellow cable used by xbox to feed the rumblers)
I Put the stripped board inside a project enclosure from Radioshack (~ 7 US Dollars)
Soldered connectors to where the pad "buttons" would have been and connected them to some arcade buttons I had left over from another project.
Linux already includes the driver for xbox joysticks, so all there was left was to test the device.
Using 'hexdump /dev/input/js0' I was able to verify it was working fine :D
Damn I suck at soldering!
