This forum is for discussion pertaining to homebrew and indie software for the Dreamcast, such as homebrew games, emulators/interpreters, and other homebrew software/applications. Porting requests and developmental ideas are not to be made here; you can make those here. If you need any help burning discs for homebrew software, this is the place to ask as well.

USB and Maple are very, very different. The only reason splicing wires together works for the XBox is because the XBox uses USB. What you did has no chance of working at all, and has a decent chance of breaking either your controller or your computer.

However there are adapters that you can buy which allow you to connect DC controllers to the PC - just do a google for 'em!
