Picked up one of these dongles at Best Buy yesterday. Less than half the price of a new controller, and it lets me use any wireless 360 controller (of which I own two) with Limburger. This should make debugging much faster. Thank you for the pointer, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lediva!
(LImburger is the name of the stank Windows XP side of my creamy white MacBook, which is otherwise named Brie. Yes, there must always be at least some vestigial amount of Mac Pride goin' on.)
Extra props to VMWare: This was the first time I tried installing new driver-dependent hardware onto XP through a VM, and it didn't even blink. That's very nice.
Extra props to Best Buy: I initially located a blister pack containing the adapter and a new controller together, so I picked it up and walked to the first blueshirt I found, asking if they sold this without the controller. She didn't know but proceeded to escort me from one of her cowrokers to the next, all of whom doubted that they had any but suggested the next person to ask. We eventually came to a fellow who said "What, this?" and handed the right thing to me. "You have succeeded where all others have failed," I told him.
