There are two steps to setting up the adapter— connecting the adapter to your device and binding your controller. Connect the adapter to your device Make sure that your Windows device is up to date and connected to the Internet. Plug the adapter into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your Windows device, and installation will happen automatically. Drivers for the adapter are built into the Windows operating system.

  • Forensics Analysis of Xbox One Game Console Ali M
    Notice: This work was carried out at University of South Wales, Digital Forensics Laboratory, Pontypridd, United Kingdom (Sep 2015) Forensics Analysis of Xbox One Game Console Ali M. Al-Haj School of Computing University of Portsmouth United Kingdom Abstract Games console devices have been designed to be an entertainment system. However, the 8th generation games console have new features that can support criminal activities and investigators need to be aware of them. This paper highlights the forensics value of the Microsoft game console Xbox One, the latest version of their Xbox series. The Xbox One game console provides many features including web browsing, social networking, and chat functionality. From a forensic perspective, all those features will be a place of interest in forensic examinations. However, the available published literature focused on examining the physical hard drive artefacts, which are encrypted and cannot provide deep analysis of the user’s usage of the console. In this paper, we carried out an investigation of the Xbox One games console by using two approaches: a physical investigation of the hard drive to identify the valuable file timestamp information and logical examination via the graphical user interface. Furthermore, this paper identifies potential valuable forensic data sources within the Xbox One and provides best practices guidance for collecting data in a forensically sound manner. Keywords: Xbox One, Embedded System, Live Investigation, Games Console, Digital Forensics console forensic analysis has become such an important and independent part of digital forensic investigations. Introduction There are over 13 million Xbox One game consoles in Video game consoles have become a significant part of worldwide circulation (Orland, 2015).

  • Kinect for Xbox 360
    MEDIA ALERT “Kinect” for Xbox 360 sets the future in motion — no controller required Microsoft reveals new ways to play that are fun and easy for everyone Sydney, Australia – June 15th – Get ready to Kinect to fun entertainment for everyone. Microsoft Corp. today capped off a two-day world premiere in Los Angeles, complete with celebrities, stunning physical dexterity and news from a galaxy far, far away, to reveal experiences that will transform living rooms in North America, beginning November 4th and will roll out to Australia and the rest of the world thereafter. Opening with a magical Cirque du Soleil performance on Sunday night attended by Hollywood’s freshest faces, Microsoft gave the transformation of home entertainment a name: Kinect for Xbox 360. Then, kicking off the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Xbox 360 today invited the world to dance, hurdle, soar and make furry friends for life — all through the magic of Kinect — no controller required. “With ‘Kinectimals*’ and ‘Kinect Sports*’, ‘Your Shape™: Fitness Evolved*’ and ‘Dance Central™*’, your living room will become a zoo, a stadium, a fitness room or a dance club. You will be in the centre of your entertainment, using the best controller ever made — you,” said Kudo Tsunoda, creative director for Microsoft Game Studios. Microsoft and LucasArts also announced that they will bring Star Wars® to Kinect in 2011. And, sprinkling a little fairy dust on Xbox 360, Disney will bring its magic as well. “Xbox LIVE is about making it simple to find the entertainment you want, with the friends you care about, wherever you are.
