You can find the manual here (http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_usb_blstr.pdf). 

You'll probably need to make yourself a cable to connect the JTAG signals to the blaster but I doubt that the XBox has any Altera components, so I don't know what you'll be able to do with the USB blaster.

There is an Opencores project where it looks like someone has figured out the USB Blaster protocol sufficiently, so that the cable can be used for general purpose I/O

I haven't looked at this yet. If you do, post your experience. 

 

Cheers,

Is there steering wheel compatible with xbox 360. I got formula 1 game but car controlling with buttons is to complicated but the game is marvelous!
