360 VLX RJ-45 MCC dual mod success!

Well I'm wondering if anybody else has attempted to dual mod RJ-45 a 360 HRAP VLX

I ran into a problem that seems to be strange. I accomplished the mod and the 360 PCB side works fine on PC and does not work on the xbox 360. The MC Chtulhu works on PS3 fine so far, but have not gone through the system wringer for testing.

If you have done this mod on a VLX and have no problems please chime in.

Here are some photos of how I did this mod, I tried to not void the warranty.

Using an Imp+MCC+VLX 360 pcb and RJ-45ing it.



I made a custom harness out of two speaker wire headers to tap the USB lines from the PCB for Voltage, D+, D-, Ground


Since I refuse to mod the case in any way I am using a Ethernet Coupler instead of a Neutrik.


I figured out what end of each button wire is the signal and made an intermediary connection to avoid having to open the black box. Screwed them into the MCC screw terminals.


Ascii Optical. Made some PCB adaptor to plug into the default harness and have lead wires to bridge to the MCC screw terminals.


It seems to be working fine in Windows 7.... But nothing on xbox 360. Cthulhu worked on PS3.


I'm out of ideas on what to trouble shoot. If anybody else does this mod with the VLX PCB, could you please post the results in here? I'm probably going to get a 360 fight pad pcb for this to work.

I am going to experiment with dropping the imp for an internal dpdt switch.
