I just bought NES30 pad & want to hack it to play on a Switch. Looking for diagrams on how & where to.
Here is the PCB
I looks like you can just scrape away at the carbon layers over each of the button contacts and solder to them, but without even clearer pictures, I wouldn’t be able to say which pad is signal and which is ground.
Does this help? Im trying to figure out how to solder the L&R buttons.
It’s still a little hard to tell, but the L/R buttons might not be so bad.
It looks like there’s a trace that leaves each of the tact switches for L/R (on the back of the PCB), solder to anywhere connected to that trace.
Alternatively, you might have some luck soldering to the “other” side/legs of the micro-tact switches, if there’s enough of it left.
Obviously you are using a different controller The NES30
but here is my findings with their SNES controller
I suggest getting a multi-meter
Quoted for truth.
It is foolish to attempt an undocumented padhack without one.
I thought they have a new fw to make all of their wireless controllers work on the Switch?
Their bluetooth sticks are sorta rare on the market at the moment.
And wasn’t sold for a while, although a new NES40 Pro stick is coming out from 8 bitdo soon.
@Rcaido did you know the wii u brook usb converters are getting switch support very soon? If you can’t get this going that’s a nice fallback plan.
Yeah i just heard & i fubar the pad already. Hopefully the Universal will work too with firmware update.
I suck at padhacking back when Hyperfighting came out for the 360 & i suck now. Everytime sf2 comes out i try to get adventurous & always turns out the same…
This was a really PITA hack & probably an easier way to do it. So i had the daisy ground soldered to contact Y. For some reason all the buttons kept on triggering button Y, so i ended up soldering each individual ground for each button and remove the daisy chain. I had all the buttons working until one of L/R button wire came off…Tried to solder it back in & just destroyed it. I had the same problem with the directional, i soldered the black ground wire from jlf harness to the down ground & all the direction kept on going down, i take it i have to do individual ground for each direction but didn’t bother since i fucked up the pcb already.
Im just going to wait it out, which i should have done in the first place.
