Picking up where the old thread ended.

I going to post the last Question here

@nottobay13

Profile - nottobay13 - Shoryuken Forums Archive I’m trying to use an old xbox 360 [pcb] in a hrap ex shell I got recently, I’m wanting to use it’s [analog] triggers. What is trigger inversion and how do I do it?

Also
@dev can you Swap this for the old thread as it hit the limit for posts?

@nottobay13

What is trigger inversion

Short story, Trigger Inversion is where we make those analog Triggers accept On/Off functions of a momentary contact switch, such as Arcade push button. Called that as you are litterally inverting the signal.

Here is the OLD thread that covers this, but the images are long since been broken.

How to padhack an 08/09 Madcatz 4716 Common Ground Xbox 360 Pad

I’ve been telling people on IRC that I’d do this, so here I am. I will post pictures in a little bit. This guide is incomplete until those pictures are here. EDIT: I’m tired and need to do some work. I’ll finish this tomorrow! Materials Required: -Madcatz 4716 2008/2009 Pad -Soldering Iron -Solder -Desoldering Equipment (Braid, Solder Sucker, your preferred method) -Flux (optional, but recommended) -Solid and/or Stranded Wire (I personally use 24 AWG solid and 26 AWG Stranded) -Small P…

Be honest with you if you haven’t purchase your pad yet (or at least taken it apart) you are better off with a GamePad that DOES NOT have the Trigger Buttons wired as analog, like a Fight Pad or one of the Many Replacement PCBs that use Screw Terminals. The PS360+ or the Brooks Universal Fight PCB are your Best options for the mod (but they are going to cost more).

Update
I did find an image that relates to the thread with a wiring diagram

There is also this “dead bug” style trigger inversion @Gummo did for the PS4 DS4

Thanks it’s long been gutted since I used it for my first stick a while back. I’m moving from 6 to 8 face buttons so I wanted to try using the triggers, but since the have a separate ground I’ll just use down click for the analog sticks.

Down Click on each analog thumb stick isn’t the same as the Triggers.

I know but I play on pc primarily so it’s not the end of the world till I can get the components for trigger inversion.

FIRST. PAGE.

goddamn discourse

[nottobay13]

@Darksakul do you have a schematic for the dead bug method?

[Darksakul]

Just what I already have shown.

[nottobay13]

Okay, I’m planning a project box style smashbox and that would have helped with figuring out analog stick support with padhacks like on Xbox 360 and ps2.

[Darksakul]

This is all I could scrape up

It be literally two of those

[nottobay13]

Nice, thank you.
