Hey guys, I’m going to be attempting a hack close to this today:
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n5/akuma001/IMG_0162.jpg
I have no questions on how to do it. It’s pretty straight forward to me. But I would like a word or two from someone who’s done it. Maybe a list of do’s and don’ts.
I have some pics that I will upload tomorrow on how my dual pcb stick (UPCB + Wired 360 pcb) is set up. I need to resolder a wire or two and hopefully that will fix it, but the 360 doesn’t work at the moment. Everything fits just fine in a 8.5 x 12 case from finkle.
Here’s my stick in it’s current condition. Finkle’s stick (8.5"x12") with a UPCB and Madcatz 360 wired pcb.

So my PCB for the 360 does not have a common ground but my psx pcb does. Both are already wired. Could I do a dual pcb mod off of this?
I’m modding my SFAC stick that’s already modded with a PSX pad. I’m planning on dual-modding with a Madcatz 360 pad. However I don’t really want to drill new button holes for the guide button. Is there a way to make the guide button activate by hitting start and select/back at the same time? I’m not sure if anyone else has attempted this. I know the Cthulu board has a smilar feature.
the UPCB does. you need to use one and piggyback the xbox 360 wired controller because the UPCB already has the start + select = guide button implemented.
Talk to toodles of check out the Universal PCB thread.
No need to go that far just for Start+Select = Guide.

I finished the piggyback mod with the Cthulhu. It was not too difficult but my no means is this for beginners. I got luckily and got it right the first time. All the buttons for both systems worked perfectly without making any adjustments. It just takes time, planning and patience. Sorry for the poor quality pics.

Oh wow! That is amazing!
Great job on the case commerce!
Um, I was wondering, How do you solders the signals from the 360 controller onto the Cthulhu board? I’m having trouble tracing the signals from the side of your Cthulhu board.
Check the welcome doc that came with the cthulhu, or in the link in the first post on the cthulhu thread. The pinout of the unlabelled holes are given there.
both thick ground and ground wired need to be connected to each psb right maybe its wiring the switch were i messed up but the xbox reads the stick but the ps3 doesnt…im slow i dont think ill ever get this wrking:sad:
All right, I’m in panic mode
I got my 360 TE today, and everything worked fine out of the box, so I decided to go ahead with my DS1 dual-mod. Long story short, it doesn’t work on either platform now. I can’t see anything wrong checking all of my connections, so I’m hoping the only issue is that my logic was wrong, and I’ll have to change some things. Excuse the awful pics…I ran out of batteries for my regular camera, and these are from my phone.

This is the terminal strip I used for the stick. The top half runs to the connector on the stick, and the bottom side splits the wires: 1 to the stock PCB for each, and 1 to the DS1 pad for each. The black wire on the far right is the ground, which I ran to the common ground on the DS1. The gray wire on the far left is the 360 Guide button, which I split to the DS1 analog button.

This terminal strip is for all of the buttons. The top wires run to each of the buttons, and the bottom splits each button to the stock PCB and the DS1 pad. The far left wire is another common ground, which is split to both PCBs. The top half of the stock black terminal strip is a common ground (you can see they’re all connected on the board underneath the terminal strip).
So basically, I used 2 terminal strips to split the directional and button wires to both pads, and I split the common ground. Now neither of the PCBs will work.
Any thoughts on this?
I hate to think I just bricked a TE that I waited months for.
What’s the ribbon cable wire in the first picture for?
BTW, those pictures don’t help. They give no indication of how the wiring was setup.
The 1 wire from the ribbon cable is for the XBOX Guide button.
And what would help you to see more? I don’t have the camera to take a clear shot of the whole thing.
Do you have AIM or anything that might make this easier for both of us to explain to each other?
I’ll make it easy on you. The answer is in this thread. It’s been stated by me repeatedly as something that needs to always be done. In the few posts where I’m not saying to do it, I’m answering folks asking me why it needs to be done.
Do it.
If you were referring to connecting the 3.3v on the PS1 pad and the 5v on the stock 360 PCB, you caught me…I wired that up, but I’m still having issues.
If I plug the PSX pad into my PS2, the analog light switches on, and all of the buttons switch on at once, and stay on. Same story if I use my PSX to USB converter on my PC.
If I use the 360 USB cable that came stock with the stick on my PC, I get a pop-up saying “Power surge on hub port.”
I know this sounds like there’s a short somewhere, but the only 2 wires connecting the 2 PCBs are the ground and power wires. I’ve resoldered them a few times, and there’s no visible issues. But if I remove either of the PCBs entirely, both work fine.
I checked the resistance between the power and ground on both PCBs, and they’re both roughly 0.7 Ohms.
Anybody have any ideas? Has anybody else put a DS1 PCB into their 360 TE successfully?
That’s a serious problem. You must locate the short and fix it.
Don’t know where the short was, but I undid everything and started over…now everything works fine.
Thanks for putting up with my shit, Toodles…you’ve been a great help!
I need help with my HRAP3 dual mod. I’m keeping the Hori PCB for PS3, and using a MS wired PCB for the 360. Does anybody have a diagram for the Hori PCB? I need to know which solder point is used for the HOME button, so I can have it act as the GUIDE button when in 360 mode (using a DPDT switch)
Thanks in advance
