I realize it’s too late for the first run, but could you be talked into adding through holes for both sets of USB wires, including a large one for shielding for the outgoing cable, like 1mm drill? Somewhere near the IDC connectors, outside of the gummy zone?
Because I had ribbon wire handy, and wanted to see if it’d work?
(and I’d have to buy it >.>)
For the first run yeah it’s a no go but I don’t see why not in the next run. I’ll have to shimmy some things around trace wise (pretty much just VCC) but I would think they would be best on the right side of the board next to the MIC cutout and then above the 360 IN IDCs of course (tons of room right there).
Any particular reason why? Just to give an option for direct solder without going to the undercarriage?
Haha, Toodles has kitties, Phreakazoid has puppies

Will you be doing shipping to the UK im looking to dual mod a TE and a V,S 
Not being a chip savvy person, I was wondering if the 6 through holes on the cut out square are for Jack mounts like this: http://www.focusattack.com/usb-jack-pcb-mount/ Thanks!
Also, I am so using this board when I make my custom Divekick
controller -____- <{helllllll yeahhhhh}
Made me think of this instantly:

Yup, UK shipping is for sure going to happen just like before. I’ll just be going by what the current USPS flat rate cost is since I could probably safely fit 4 - 6 of these into a single small flat rate box.
Nah the 6 through holes are for programming the boards. There’s no spot for a mountable jack like that on the current board but cutting/running to the IDC terminals is pretty easy, or simply soldering to the underside of the board.
When can I buy this?
ETA is about 2 weeks after EVO. I’ll post up when they are available!
Anyway we can workout an upgrade from the defunct Teasy to one of these?
If you can’t manage to cut down the board how are you going to manage any other part of the mod?
It’d be a little more convenient if you could get a board with only the inner part populated, but I don’t imagine the logistics would be worth it for Phreakazoid.
Disagree.
Cutting PCB material requires a completely different skill set to soldering. Someone may be a genius with SMT soldering but rubbish with a saw.
Producing just the inner part would be more economical as it would negate the need for the rest of what is on the Cerberus. But obviously only in Phreak sees it as a viable product in its own right.
Not entirely true. Making 100 of one thing that combines two things is usually cheaper than making 50 each of two things
If you don’t need it for the size, you can still solder to the bottom of the board without having to cut anything.
I pretty much plan on using these for most of my 360->PS3 mods from now on. They’re inexpensive and SUPER functional, and can go super small if I need it.
Wow. This is great Phreak! Nice work.
I’m super interested and if this is as easy as you say installation will be, then you’re getting multiple orders from me right away. Good work man!
This might be a dumb question, but how does this compare to the TEKitty. Is it just a competing product with similar functionality? Aside from the optional cut-away option, that is.
Also, I’ve noticed that in order to install this on my MC SC5 stick, i’d need to remove one of the mounting screws on the JLF. Would it still be stable enough for regular play?
The TE Kitty is capable of running on any console the MC Cthulhu runs on (PS2, Dreamcast, etc) whereas the Cerberus only runs on PS3. Other than that they seem to both have the same functionality.
Phreak installed his last prototype into a VS at Evo. It really is a quick and easy install.
I are interested.
Of course, but remember the Cerberus only fits SSF4 and newer sticks, so if you used a TEasy Strike (non S version) you can’t just swap them out, but I’m not opposed to exchanging if you have the means to get it installed otherwise (local modder who can solder, etc).
I agree on the skillset difference, but Duckie is correct. Making 100 of each type would be significantly more expensive than 200 of a single type that manages to do both. If the demand is there I could ultimately make just the inner section, but for now it’ll remain as is since this can do both. To put it simply it’s just literally not possible for me to produce both at this point in time, just don’t have the money for it. If it’s a serious concern though you could always contract Gummo to cut a shitload down for you.
Thanks!
It’s is indeed very easy to install. The worst case scenario is that one of the header pins isn’t straightened out/aligned and the board won’t go down. That’s an easy troubleshoot even if it comes to that. I’ll do a short write up on that situation for people before they are released. Worst case? remove the 360 board so you can see the two boards interface out in the open, see where it’s not fitting, and bend the troublesome header pin. I’ve run into it once myself (at evo), and it’s usually caused by removing the JST connectors are a messed up angle that bends the pins.
Perhaps I’ll get someone to do a proper install video when I get the boards in, since I’m no good at that shit.
It’s not a dumb question, the TEasy has been gone for a while so the current comparison will be to the Kitty naturally. They’re similar in the end since they both accomplish the same thing, so in that right yes it’s just a competing product. The differences are how they each install, and the supported systems. The kitty boards have MC functionality whereas the Cerberus does not. The cerberus is a self contained package for installation, requiring less tools/parts overall than the kitty, and gives things like player numbers on PS3 which are not present on the kitty. In the end it’s a bit cleaner of an install, and actually has less potential points of error for the install. The kitty does LED funstuffs for the buttons and directionals on the CP, the Cerberus does not.
The price for the Cerberus is also geared at 40$ in 1x pricing. The volume discounts for modders/etc are definitely there though.
As for the mounting screw, I don’t imagine that will be a problem at all. TrixWon can probably comment on that since he is the one who tested that install and noticed it.
