Works Perfectly (With a bit of effort)
By rootbeerafloat
The GameCube and PS2 slots work like a charm right out of the box, even on Windows 7 x64. Sadly, it would not recognize any Xbox S Controller I threw at it, and I had rather a few laying around, even with the drivers from the Mayflash site. It did however, have no problem recognizing the primary “duke” Xbox controller, so I guess it technically works… But honestly, who wants to use the friggin’ duke? It even has a picture of an S controller on the back of the package, so I assume they weren’t intending just the duke to work. All my machines are running Windows 7 now, so regrettably I couldn’t test to see if XP/Vista have the same problem.
Edit: I went back in to work on this problem more, after realizing the drivers HAD to work for both the S and the duke since they’d need to seem identical to an actual Xbox. With a little bit of trial and error, I found out I was right. In case any individual has the same issue I did, I shall share my very simple solution. It doesn’t take a talent to figure this out, but perhaps I may save you a good deal of time and effort. Remember, I may only verify this for Windows 7 x64, but I imagine it could employ to other operating systems if they have similar problems. Making it step by step for those not too great with Windows.
1. Install the latest 3 in 1 drivers from the Mayflash.com, if you haven’t already.
2. If Windows fails to install the drivers automatically, it must appear in Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Devices and Printers as a “Generic USB Hub” with the dreaded yellow exclamation mark.
3. Right click, click properties, and underneath the hardware tab you will have to have “Generic USB Hub” and “Unknown Device” with a yellow exclamation point.
4. Click on the unknown device and hit the properties button. Go to the driver tab, click update driver. Then click “Browse My Computer for Driver software.” Then “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”. Select “Show All Devices” and click Next. Under manufacturer, scroll down to “TigerGame Limited” and select “TigerGame Xbox+PS2+GameCube Controller Adapter”, and hit next. You’ll have a warning pop up, click yes. You may likewise be asked to trust content from “Xinan Ruida Electronic Factory”, click yes.
There you go, you must be set. Make sure you alter the controller mode to analog and calibrate. Hope all that typing helps someone.

It would be perfective if the XBOX Analog sticks works right
By Rev John
You need to download the Drivers from Mayflash to get XBOX controllers to work even then you’re going to have analog stick troubles which for me undermined the entire intent I got this divice for which was to play NIGHTS on a saturn emulator with an authentic 6 button 2 trigger analog controller. It has troubles mapping for other emulators too.
Beyond that the Gamecube side of things works outstanding the Playstation port is flawless infact if everyone on the XBOX side worked I’d give this 5 stars but since the XBOX side was why I purchased this adapter and only 2/3rds of it works I have to give this 4 stars.
but if you want more choices in what controllers you use this is a wise buy Just do not forget to head to the Mayflash internetsite and download the right drivers.

Mostly works for Gamecube controllers
By Vic George 2K6
This controller adapter for three dissimilar system controllers works somewhat well for Gamecube controllers straight out of the box. The Xbox controllers, however, require a driver that you must get from Mayflash’s website, and regrettably now that I’m using Windows 7, that doesn’t do the trick. No big loss, since I now find the Xbox 360 controllers a superior alternative. The Playstation 2 adapter plug strangely doesn’t work, but I already have an adapter for those types of controllers, so no huge loss there. If you’re looking to consolidate all your system controllers into one adapter, you may want to undertake it out, but don’t get your hopes up that everything you want to use with it will work through it.
