2 PCB's in one stick - Possible?

[System_1]

At a guess, I’d say you probably removed the analog sticks from the board, but didn’t tie them to neutral with resistors. Read up www.slagcoin.com for information on how to force the sticks to center with resistors.

If you play a lot of emulators, you should also look into an MC Cthulhu. You could remove both of your boards from the stick, fixing the analog problem with the xbox controller and the three button problem from the VSHG board (if you have the version with the three button problem, and also have access to the exntended commands needed by most Xbox1 emulators; the MC Cthulhu has button combinations available for simulating moving the analog sticks, clicking the analog sticks, etc.

Thanks a lot, Toodles. Now my VSHG running smoothly :wgrin:

This is a new pcb I’ve just encountered while wiring for a dual mod project w/ the cthulhu board along with the imp board. After soldering it, the xbox pcb seems to be recognizing itself on the PC, but not on the 360 console. When I plug the controller in, the madcatz starts blinking (all 4 rings.) and I can’t seem to get it functioning. However, when I start the 360 console up, I can use the guide button and THATS IT. The Cthulhu board seems to be functioning fine after using the imp switch mod as the secondary controller.

I have highlighted the area on the 360 pcb in LIME GREEN as the ground wire connected the “C” slot of the PS3 Cthulhu board. Might that be the problem why the madcatz pcb doesn’t recognize itself on the 360 console only?

NM, fixed it!

Hey danzborin, did you ever get your hrap3 dual mod finished? Im curius, hit me up if you need a ps3 to test it on.

Check out this Tekken 5 stick I modded.
Put Ls32, seimitsu buttons and dual modded with a psx and mc 360 pad.

Hey danzborin, did you ever get your hrap3 dual mod finished? Im curius, hit me up if you need a ps3 to test it on.

I have a few connections to re-solder between the ps3 board and the imp… I pulled a few things apart troubleshooting…

xbox side works fine… only odd side effect is if I go into the messaging window and hit A too hard on the add text menu, it blinks out and goes back to the messaging window… but if I hit it soft it works fine… I think the hori button I’m using as guide is a bit to sensitive and is triggering accidentally… not sure, but I can live with it…

when I have some more time, I will pull it apart and get the imp part done… and take out the seimitsu buttons… gotta go back to sanwa… so much better…

xbox360 pad with a p360

first i would like to know if this is worth doing, and second does anyone have any wiring diagrams to show exactly where the connections go?

What are the issues with the new p360s; I have the old one wired for a ps and use a converter to dc.

Are there any guides how to dual mod a hrap3 USING the hrap3 pcb? Or rather just pictures of where to solder? Specifically where the 3.5v solder point is.

Hi guys, just wondering if ALL gamestop 360 controllers are common ground

In particular these ones:

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=43229

I’m looking into modding a HRAP3 for people and need common ground wired pcbs for the 360 readily available and these look like the only ones.

Sorry if this has been answered already, i’m just starting to go through the thread and i’m on page 2 :S

Short version:
2 PCBs, hrap2 and 360. With ground connected, only 360 works. With ground and power connected, neither works.

Long version:

Hey all. Long time lurker, first time poster.

I’m trying to add a 360 PCB to my HRAP2:SA.

I’m using the HRAP2:SA’s own PCB and a 2009 Madcatz 360 controller, Gamestop logo on the handle. It’s got a bit of a different layout than the 2007 one on slagcoin, but using my multimeter I’ve figured out most of the differences.

Following the diagrams and posts here I’m almost done, but there’s one little thing screwing me up: Connecting the power between the HRAP2:SA PCB and the 360 PCB.

Right now, with everything but the power (including ground, of course) connected between the boards, it works perfectly with the 360 board, but if I plug the hrap2sa’s board (to a pc through my ps2->usb converter which worked with the hrap before the mod) most of the buttons are read as held down, stick doesn’t work.

Since neither board is diagrammed on slagcoin I located what I believed to be the +5V on each board using my multimeter with the ground points. These points each read 5 volts of difference with the ground with their own board plugged into USB. On the hrap’s side, it’s the blue wire on the connector between the cord and the board. On the Madcatz board, it’s labeled USB. If I connect these, I get the same problem as above with PS2->USB, and with the 360 USB I get “Power surge on USB port: A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port”

Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Looks to me like the hrap2 may not be common ground…

One more thing: Even with the power connection disconnected, I still can’t use the 360 side if the end of the PS2 cord has my USB converter hanging off of it. In that case it has the same problem as the PS2 side. I have to take the converter off for the 360 side to work.

Adding a 360 pcb to a hori fight stick 3

Hello, I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with adding a 360 pcb to a hori fight stick 3 using the original pcb? I tried searching but didn’t come up with anything. Thanks in advance

Are there any guides how to dual mod a hrap3 USING the hrap3 pcb? Or rather just pictures of where to solder? Specifically where the 3.5v solder point is.

look back a couple pages and you’ll see:

Hey, dual modded my 360 TE stick with a Cthulhu board and for some odd reason my RT for 360 doesn’t work well everything else works fine. I solder the wire from the madcatz pcb to the Cthulhu.

[mR_CaESaR]

does the RT work when its using the cthuhlu board?

[System_1]

Yeah.

[mR_CaESaR]

you might want to re-check the solder point on the RT of the mad catz pcb then… re-solder it if you have to, do you have multimeter?

Can you check for continuity?

Anyone got pictures and DIY for the wiring the PS3 sixaxis and the 360 pcb together on one stick. I have the pin outs from slagcoin but nothing show exactly how to wiring them to gether with a switch of some sort. If you got a link much appreciated.

BTW I’ve searched for two days now and have not seen what I want to do. It is always with madcats and toodles or some other combo.

Looking to do this too. want both pcb wireless. i already have a sixaxis stick made and want to add a 360 to it.

im more interested in getting both of the pcb to work on 1 stick but at same time not running them pcb so both systems dont turn on randomly.

can i just Y the connections so 1 goes to ps3 pcb and other goes to 360 pcb? i’ll have 2 home bottoms (so it doesnt turn the other system) and 2 usb ports for syncing or is it more complicating then that?

worst comes to worst i’ll just do a reversiable stick top side is ps3 bottom side is 360. just flip the box accordingly … lol (thats gettho)

It’s not a complete guide as I’m still working on the battery situation atm. It does have a working schematic of a common ground mod for the sixaxis though.

[System_1]

Thanks, I’ll try that this weekend.

Would anyone mind giving me some sort of ms-paint diagram showing where to wire the button w/ ground for all the buttons, the ground for the controller and the 5v (or 3.3 or whatever).

Hello everyone!!

I want to add a Dreamcast pcb to my arcade stick (wich is hacked with a USB Genius pad)

I’m aware about the L and R triggers lag, but right now it doesnt matter for me as I’m not going to use these (Im playing VF3tb).

So, this is the pcb im using - i have the cables soldered to the cherry switches and used just one cable for ground (chaining? whats the name? sorry) as the pcb is common ground

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3090/dsc01097at0.jpg

so my question is, should I follow this??

I know where to find the +5V from the Dreamcast pcb, as seen here

but im really confused as i dont know where to find the +3.3V at my Genius PCB

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3090/dsc01097at0.jpg

maybe someone can point me where to solder to make the bridge between the DC pcb +5v and the Genius +3.3V ??

And, why should it be +3.3V ?? What if my Genius pcb doesnt have 3.3, but +5V?

Sorry for my noob question guys, Im learning a lot everyday thanks to you guys
