Absolute Question and Answer Thread (ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!)

well there are 8 connections from the motherboard to the ls-32 and no 5 pin connector. i was thinking i might have to resolder these 8 points to the 8 points on the ls-58 but those 8 points lead to the 5-pin connector so i’m not sure if this is an option? is tehre a way to pop the joystick off the pcb even? i unscrewed the plate on top but it doesnt look like there is any way to seperate it. thanks for the help guys.

edit::
figured out how to seperate it but the pcb’s & subsequently the switches don’t match up at all. there’s a 5 wire connector that came with it that plugs into the 5-pin connector on the pcb so i could just solder those wires to the wires hooked up to the old pcb. the problem is i would need to solder all 4 ground wires to the 1 ground wire on the 5-pin is this advisable?

daisy chain all the grounds to the one point…
wait… damn it… i forgot if you have to do some cutting to do that… I forget since I dont touch those types of sticks (only did 1 to be honest)… hope someone can confirm if theres any modding to the pcb for that… I dont think there is but just playing it safe…

ya my options the way i see it are clip the leads leading to the pcb and attach the wires there (4 points, 4 grounds). or wire all 4 grounds together into 1 off the pcb. but ya i don’t know why the pcb would be necessary but maybe it is.

You will not combine anything Grounds.
The HRAP EX SE is non-Common Ground.

You need those eight wires for the Joystick separate.

so my only option is to clip the leads going into the pcb and solder there i take it?

You have to cut the Ground Trace of LS-58-01.
Then you solder the eight wires directly to Microswitch.

ok, which part is the ground trace & which part is the microswitch? sorry for the confusion, first timer here.

edit: nm figured it out.

Im looking to buy a 360/pc controller for a pcb that wont give me any trouble when trying to get the triggers to work, any suggestions?

any madcatz fightpad will do… (sf4/ssf4 fightpad,brawlpad, sfxt fightpad)

Ok so this ones good right?


Also with this controller will LT and LB work?

Yes to both questions

Hey guys is there a thread where people post local tournaments? Right now I attend all the Euphoria gaming tournaments in Phx AZ, but I’m looking for others. Obviously Devastation is out here, but I mean smaller periodical ones.

Look in the regional matchmaking area. http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?forums/pacific-south.117/

And now I have a question, is there any way to get a ps3 controller to work for ps2 games on a BC PS3? A friend got a new Hori Soul Calibur stick thinking it would work like some other Hori sticks, and be able to play ps2 games. Apparently this isn’t true, and a speculative cause is that you cannot turn on the PS3 with the home button of the stick. Anyone have any solution to this problem?

Next stupid question:

Is there a way to force 360 mode on a PC?

My set up: MCC (firmware 2.3), IMPv2, 360 Fightpad

LK,MP,HK when you plug it into the PC

Yes there is, check toodle’s Cthulhu thread

That is what I was afraid of.

I checked the Cthulhu thread first, but it only contained information on how to force 360 mode with a ChImp SMD. Even though it appears to be the same method there was no mention of the IMPv2 in the first post.

Unless there’s something obvious I’m missing?

ok, i think i’ve figured everything out i’m going to snip the 2 legs (NO & Ground) of each microswitch where they connect to the pcb board. then i’ll resodder all 8 wires to the 8 legs. i was wondering though, if it was possible to just snip the grounds, resolder those, and then use the 4 wires off the 5-pin for the NO connections. would save me half the work as i could just splice these 4 wires instead of having to resolder them. or is there some reason you don’t want to do this? if you use the pcb for the 4 connections will connecting the 4 grounds before the pcb matter?

I have a 360 SE that works perfectly fine on the PC, but won’t register a port on a 360, only blinks the guide lights. Is there a fix for this, or should I pick up a Revolution?

It is not documented in the Welcome Document.
You just got to be in the know with this.
A + Y + RT.
1K + 2P + 3K.
LP + MP + HK.

Yes, you can do that.
You can even use the Ground Pin for one of the Microswitch.

I didn’t know if you would understand it.
I had a diagram made of it too.

I saw you cut the Trace on the JLF PCB.
Unless with your snipping, you are super sure there will be no more contact.
