SoundGammon Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Has anyone used a X-Arcade with the PS3 and played any of the Zen pinball games? I was thinking of getting the adapter for it, but wanted to make sure it worked first! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I have the solo X-Arcade and I think I used it with Zen. Should work fine if the side buttons are defined as the triggers. I cant remember, its been a long time since I last used the X-Arcade on a PS3. I can try it again tonight and let you know. I've been meaning to hook it up again so at least your giving me a reason to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Nope cant do it. You can use the X-arcade to play Zen but you cant use the side buttons in the game which I figure you wanted to do? The side buttons are not triggers and I have no idea if you can re-assign controller buttons within the ps3. Doubt it. Wow even though using the top buttons on the x-arcade is a little lame its still a LOT better than using a normal controller. Lots of fun.

Rex Dart Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Well, guess you could always drill a couple o' holes and add a pair of buttons wired to the correct PS3 buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoundGammon Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks, just needed to know it works. I'm going to do a little wiring mod and replace the pinball buttons with leaf-style switches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hi guys, I was also considering the X-Arcade Solo for use with Pinball Arcade (as per my other thread here) The reviews online say you can reprogram the Solo's buttons, is that not correct? I have the older dual-stick X-Arcade controller and it has a button on the rear panel that allows you to assign anything you want to a button press. Does the Solo actually not also have that feature? If so I'll avoid the Solo for my situation mentioned in my thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says so here: http://www.xgaming.com/support/questions/15/X-Arcade%E2%84%A2+Programming+Guide Once again even though it's in writing, I'm not 100% sure. I didn't have a great experience with those guys. They sent me a non working adapter and it took them almost two months to send a replacement. Also, when it 'advertised' that you can change it to 4-way mode "easily" it just simply was not true. For the solo you have to literally bend metal contacts and once you do its trial and error for your controllers responsiveness to games. Its a nice stick (solo) but I probably won't ever buy another one from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
