When a macro has been initiated, will it be possible to loop the macro over and over on a loop?
Some repetative "grinding" games could utilise this function without the need to keep pressing one of the trigger switches.
On another note. Funnily enough I thought of a similar idea last year where by a standard controller could be converted into a macro controller by the following method.
When the controller communicates, a seperate USB device plugged into the 360 would synchronise with both the xbox 360 and the controller acting as a middle point that sends the data received from the controller to the xbox 360.
The controller obviously must be un-synchronised with the console to prevent double comunicating but the USB receiver acts and synchronises with the console in the same way a standard controller would.
The USB receiver could interpret a button press from the controller and "modify" the output to the console to reflect what ever the user requires. In a sense, the USB device could also submit a string of commands or rapid fire at the control of the standard controller. It would be a simple case of syncronising the controller with the USB receiver first, then the USB receiver with the console. A similar method could be used to download macro files to the USB device and macro selection could be achieved by buttons located on the USB device perhaps illustrated via a small LCD display. This way controllers could remain un-touched and no modding would be required. I for one know nothing of the technology behind the wireless communications used in xbox controllers but someone who does could surely utilise this method.
Anyway, great job with the controllers, I will certainly be buying one, maybe two. I just hope the macro loop is an option as I love to grind (halo: reach)
and this would certainly run in the controllers favour.
