IMPORTANT – READ BEFORE INSTALLATION

Ensure the Tankstick is set to Mode 1 (default keyboard mode) before use; otherwise, the adapter will not function properly.
Make sure to note the section on Digital/Analog, which will alleviate many issues you may encounter.
X-Arcade programming is for the PC/Mac™ only, and has no function on game consoles.
The Trackball is not supported by the 360 X-Adapter™. You may, however, be able to use the trackball in the USB port of your console directly.
4-player: If your console only has 2 USB ports you will need to use a USB hub to connect for 4-players.
To access the Xbox Menu during game play, simply press Back+Start on the X-Arcade.

OPERATION WITH GAME CONSOLES

On gaming consoles, the unit operates just like a standard gamepad with buttons assigned to the arcade buttons.

Digital vs. Analog Control Overview: Handheld gamepad controllers for newer game consoles feature both digital and analog controlling devices, a D-pad and two analog thumb-sticks. Most games use the D-pad and/or left thumbstick to operate a game. The X-Arcade™ supports only one digital joystick per player, therefore adjustments need to be made to select whether this joystick functions as the D-pad or the left analog thumbstick. See the key legend above for directions on switching between analog and digital on the 360, but in general:

Side Button + Button 1 (Top-left) = Digital (D-PAD) Side Button + Button 2 (Top-middle) = Analog 1 (primary thumbstick) Side Button + Button 3 (Top-right) = Analog 2 (secondary thumbstick)

Analog Tilt SensitivityWhile using Analog 1 mode (Select+Button 2) you can change how sensitive the movement is from normal full-tilt (default) to half-tilt sensitivity. Half-tilt sensitivity would be equal to moving the analog thumbstick on your gamepad to about halfway in any direction instead of fully (full-tilt). This is useful for games that you need more precise movement in, for example in a racing game, or to make your character move slower in your game.

Tilt Sensitivity Mode Toggle: Side Button + Button 7 = Half-Tilt Sensitivity Side Button + Button 8 = Full-Tilt Sensitivity (default)

DualStick Mode (2-Player X-Arcades Only): Some games may require the use of 2 control devices simultaneously, for example, console versions of arcade classics like Robotron™, SmashTV™, Crazy Climber™, and Karate Champ™. While the X-Arcade™ is not ideal for all types of games, for example, first-person shooters, it has the ability to play all of them thanks to DualStick Mode.

DualStick Mode makes the second player joystick of a dual X-Arcade™ act like the right analog thumbstick on a gamepad. But it also makes the buttons on the player 2 side mirror those of the player 1 side, so the buttons on both sides can be used for single-player game play. As you may have gathered, this means that DualStick mode is for single-person game play, and requires a 2-player X-Arcade™ controller, it will have no effect on an X-Arcade Solo™ for example.

DualStick mode is toggled on and off by pressing the Modifier and Player 1 side button 6 simultaneously, and while in DualStick mode you can still change Joystick 1 between D-PAD and analog thumbstick mode.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The first thing you want to do is test the X-Arcade™ on your PC using the X-Arcade™ Test Utility Program to check that it is being recognized by your PC properly. If your controller works in the X-Arcade™ Test Program, then your controller is fine. Run the X-Arcade™ Test Program.
If you have trouble getting both players to work at the same time, try plugging both Wingman XB2/XB3 adapters into the USB ports of the console at the same time while the console is already on.
If the button layout differs from the default, restore the button mapping to default on the Wingman XB2/XB3 Adapter.
If you have trouble getting both players to work simultaneously, try plugging both Wingman XB2/XB3 adapters into the USB ports of the console while it is on.
The Xbox adapters will only work with the current 2in1 adapter with permanently attached cables. If your 2in1 adapter has detachable cables, it will not work.
If issues persist but your X-Arcade works on the PC with our test program, try hooking up another Wingman XB2/XB3 supported USB controller with the Wingman XB2/XB3 Adapter and connect to the PC directly. If you have an Xbox Original, bypass the Wingman XB2/XB3 adapter and use the 2 in 1 adapter to connect to the Original Xbox to troubleshoot the cause.
If the issue is confirmed to be related to the Wingman XB2/XB3 adapter, please contact Brook support directly for further assistance.
