3 in 1 Magic Joy Box (PS2/PS/GC/XBOX to PC USB Adapter) Review

The GameCube and PS2 slots work like a charm right out of the box, even on Windows 7 x64. Sadly, it would not recognize any Xbox S Controller I threw at it, and I had quite a few laying around, even with the drivers from the Mayflash site. It did however, have no problem recognizing the original "duke" Xbox controller, so I guess it technically works... But honestly, who wants to use the friggin' duke? It even has a picture of an S controller on the back of the package, so I assume they weren't intending just the duke to work. All my machines are running Windows 7 now, so unfortunately I couldn't test to see if XP/Vista have the same problem.

Edit: I went back in to work on this problem more, after realizing the drivers HAD to work for both the S and the duke since they'd need to seem identical to an actual Xbox. With a little bit of trial and error, I found out I was right. In case anyone has the same issue I did, I shall share my very simple solution. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out, but maybe I can save you some time and effort. Remember, I can only verify this for Windows 7 x64, but I imagine it could apply to other operating systems if they have similar problems. Making it step by step for those not too great with Windows.

1. Install the latest 3 in 1 drivers from the Mayflash.com, if you haven't already.
2. If Windows fails to install the drivers automatically, it should appear in Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Devices and Printers as a "Generic USB Hub" with the dreaded yellow exclamation mark.
3. Right click, click properties, and under the hardware tab you should have "Generic USB Hub" and "Unknown Device" with a yellow exclamation point.
4. Click on the unknown device and hit the properties button. Go to the driver tab, click update driver. Then click "Browse My Computer for Driver software." Then "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Select "Show All Devices" and click Next. Under manufacturer, scroll down to "TigerGame Limited" and select "TigerGame Xbox+PS2+GameCube Controller Adapter", and hit next. You'll have a warning pop up, click yes. You may also be asked to trust content from "Xinan Ruida Electronic Factory", click yes.

There you go, you should be set. Make sure you change the controller mode to analog and calibrate. Hope all that typing helps someone.
