Hey, I hope this is the right forum.
I have an idea. Not a very impressive idea but an idea. I was just wondering about the controller slots... how versatile are they? What sort of input are they allow to recieve and send to the X-Box? We already are using the memory cards and will be putting the Communicator on it, so I'm just wondering what it exactly does apart from supplying power. Anyway, my idea:
Light guns. Now, I was wondering if it will be possible to make some sort of light gun "pointer" and connect it to the slots. So it works just like a light gun except without the actual gun, and you have to use the trigger button to fire. Also, my brother has a weird idea of using dual pistols (left and right trigger) ingame or something like that. I won't bother gonig into that, but I wouldn't mind having some facts about the controller slots. I think the X-Box controller is great and I feel that it would be even better if something like a light gun pointer can be used on it. Not only is this cheaper then buy a light gun it would allow other things to happen (like a heart/pulse monitor, mini TV/secondary camera ingame etc)
So what do you think? Would it be possible for the slots to be used in this way? Would you like the idea of your pulse being monitored so the game can "costomise" itself to you? OR are you like me? Wanting cheaper stuff. :D
