Thanks! The stick actually is the Collector’s Edition (isn’t the first time I ran into this mix-up), and I’ve actually found advice from a friend who has one, and he said to switch the buttons with new ones. However another suggestion I got was to unplug the buttons and plug them back in and usually that works.
I’m trying to find a job at this point, so modding my stick is up there on the priority list. Basically the modding I need (or want) is new buttons, stick(joystick, whatever the term is), and dual mod for PS3 to make tourney friendly. So not too much moolah at this point.
Thankfully, I tried playing today and both buttons worked. It did open my eyes and present the idea of modding my stick. I’m most definitely into the possibilities.
Looking to pick up a capture card that can record good quality without being overly expensive. HD recording would be nice, but if it’s gonna skyrocket the price, then no thanks.
Any favorites or recommendations? And what do you recommend, the USB connected ones, or the ones you actually install in your computer? shrug I’m new to this whole thing.
Can anyone reccomend a decent 360 stick for about 50 or less? I’ve seen a few but as a total n00b to arcade sticks, I’d like some of the more experienced members to give me some advice. Thanks!
I’m in the thought process of making in an arcade stick I have taken the first step and I extracted the PCP from one of my Xbox 360 controllers. Diagram: http://slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_diagrams/360_diagram6.jpg But I am confused on how to wire this thing (i know how as in i need solder and wire) but i don’t get witch witch ones i have to solder and witch i don’t. My major question is what are the difference between the common and signal circles, also what is the ground.
The blue color, “signal,” all need to be individually wired to the buttons. The things labeled “common” are the grounds. The same color ones are shared. So instead of individually wiring all the, say, brown contacts, you can simply solder one to the board and daisy chain it.
does anyone know where i can get a pre made xbox 360 pcb from one of the members or online like soldered and eveything so i would just have to attach buttons to it?
I’m not sure if he still does it, but there’s at the BYOAC forums named Haruman that would pick up the pad, solder everything to euro style terminal blocks and send it to you. The front page just lists the price for the service, but he had listed pad included prices at one point.
Anyone know what size phillips head will remove the LS 32 secondary gate screws? All the ones i have are either too small or too large. TIA
Nevermind, i just got it off. It feels so much better now. The general consensus is right. Take off the blue gate if you want to play 8 way. There’s really no point in having it on.
