I have just received a Madcatz MC2 wheel for the XBOX360 that I purchaced on ebay. However I cannot find out how to connect it as the lead from the wheel has a round plug and I can only assume that I need a USB plug to fit it to the front of my console? Is this something that the seller has failed to supply?

I started having trouble with my brakes and throttle either not operating or operating sporadically (MC2 pedal set). I tried slightly jiggling the cord near the connection on the steering wheel base and found I could get the pedal set operating again. To keep the pedal set operating while I play (drive), I drape the pedal set cord over the steering wheel set gear shift. Amazingly, that one difference keeps the pedal set operating consistently. By the way, I had ordered another pedal set in the box on E-Bay when I found this draping technique worked. The E-Bay set is still in the box in my closet as a back-up. Don't need it ... yet. This is what I have been doing since the issue occurred about two years ago. Hope this resolves your issues.

There should be a USB cable that came with the wheel that connects directly to the Xbox 360. Are referring to the Madcatz MC2? If so then you might be missing the USB cable connector? You can't modify the other inputs to feed into the Xbox 360. You need to use the cable that comes with the wheel.

Also, some games are not compatible with the wheel.

MadCatz Racing Wheel does not support devices with a USB plugged into a port specificly. This is of course if you're indeed using it. Also, some games will not support the MadCatz racing wheel directly. Many games are not designed to work with it. So check online for documentation on it.

The game is built into the steering wheel system and it works on PS, PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube.

does the madcatz racing wheel have a usb connection in the box when first purchased

The easiest way to do this is to go online and order a PS2 controller to PC adapter on amazon.com or some other site. I have a Madcatz MC2 and a Ps2 controller to PC adapter (a cheap one -_-") and it works okay (I'm having a lot of trouble with the pedals though).
