[Help] How to start data collection of the Xbox 360 wheel communication?
Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2021 9:21 am
Hi all!
I'd love to someday be able to use the GIMX in conjunction with the both excellent and very affordable FFB Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel on other systems.
The only option right now seems to be the more pretty expensive commercial devices such as the Drivehub or Ras1ution in order to enjoy the full experience, they've both managed to reverse the FFB-protocol, how? If they can, we could too right?
Collect communication data
As we lack Xbox 360 wheel emulation right now I was hoping to at least get the ball rolling by collecting data for the wheel communication straight from the 360, alternatively collecting data from the PC. In theory we should in the end be able to use then wireless receiver the pair the wheel with the GIMX for communication.
Q: In order to start this process, could I use my GIMX to collect the communication data?
Method suggestions:
(A): Collect the data communication by intercept between the xbox 360 and its wireless module (it's using USB)?
(B): Collect data between 360 racing wheel and the Wireless receiver on PC (sadly PC drivers has no FFB, just basic rumble support)?
(C): Hypothetically one could get a device that is already compatible w/ the 360 wheel on PC and listen to the communication data using the GIMX?
Any help or guidance to start this process would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE 1: I do now own a drivehub for comparison
UPDATE 2: This thread can be closed/removed due to lack of time and resources
