xbox color buttons - pressure sensitive?

[invictius]

I've got a modded xbox controller here, but unless you hold the colored buttons really hard, they're sent into an "off" state - e.g you don't accelerate in racing games. I've got an awesome gravis gamepad pro here - a near perfect replica of a ps2 controller - but my soundblaster audigy doesn't have a gameport, nor does my onboard soundcard. I've brought a gameport-usb adaptor - direction controls go haywire, tried on 3 different pc's, 2 different controls. Is there a BYO gameport-usb mod schematic on the net somewhere?

Regarding the Xbox controller, that's dependent on the drivers. If you're using XBCD, decrease the button threshold. Alternatively, you could actually assign them to axis, which would allow ZSNES and other programs to recognise them as analogue input.
