The full story
Microsoft's Xbox Wireless Adapter had never worked on an Xbox 360. The poster built a driver with Claude Code for their modded 360. It lets up to four Series X|S controllers connect wirelessly, with rumble and a working Guide button, and loads at boot.
Claude reverse engineered the 360 kernel's undocumented USB stack and XAM's input path in Ghidra via an MCP server, ported the xone project's radio, pairing, ECDH handshake and GIP protocol code into portable C, wrote the kernel-mode DLL and PowerPC hooks, and debugged on the live console over the debug monitor. It is free and open source (GPL-3.0).
