Hi there guys!

I am kinda a big geek so i got Rock Band shipped all the way to Denmark + an NTSC Xbox 360. The game is an absolute blast to play, except we cant get the full band experience going. I bought a Universial Power Adapter to power the USB Hub from our 220v plugs, since the plugs are different here.

I just cant get my USB hub to work and i've tried with 2 different adapters for it, anyone using the same solution that works? I cant get a sepperate powered USB hub, my best bet is a 30$ travel adapter, but if it could works without its 30$ saved. Some images of it all:

Anyone got a clue for me about what settings they should be on to work correctly?

Oh ****! I never thought about this! I'm living in Austria and the game hopefully comes someday this week. I'm no pro so I have no idea, sorry, but I will probably have the same problem.
I have a travel adapter for my JAP PSP, don't know if this works. Probably not.

Damn...:mad:

Does every kind of PC USB HUB work with the 360 and Rockband?

The traveladapter should do just fine, as the Rock Band USB Power supply cable is 110-220v, so you should be safe.

Seems like i will have to buy a travel adapter then.

Hm, I hope you're right. But my adapter is for a JAP cable, do they use the same as the US?

Googled after it and following came up:

American Plug:

Looks the same to me.

Well, I got the game today and plugged the cable in the adapter and it seems to fit in perfectly.

I just could'nt try the game out because my US Xbox 360 hasn't arrived here yet.

Thanks for your help anyway!

you can use any USB hub. it doesn't have to be the one that comes with RB. just get one from your local computer store.
