Yes, the two signals need to be connected. Derp, I misread @thejapino’s post and thought it was assembled. If they aren’t connected they need to be physically soldered/connected together, even if there is no physical home button the Cerberus toggles the Home signal itself upon a S+S condition.
Phreak, so I still need to solder a connection from the Madcatz PCB’s guide to the Cerberus’ guide? After that, I should be GTG?
Yep, that’s correct.
Awesome! I connected the signals and everything works exactly as it should for Xbox360 and PS3. Thanks again for the helps guys.
Focus Attack sent me a sticker that happened to match the Sanwas perfectly.

Sup guys, so I got the Cerberus for my VS in the mail today, jumped right to the install. Went pretty smooth though I had to go back to the white/red USB in terminal a couple times…I have everything on and working on PC and PS3, but my joystick diagonals/left/right aren’t registering for 360. Anyone thoughts?
double check your connections.
As in pushed in all the way or something mixed up maybe? I’m pretty sure I have everything in pretty tight but if its a case of mixed up ribbons or something then I’ll have to double check that.
Boards aren’t together all the way. One thing to do is remove both boards from the stick and put them together outside of it. Then take them apart and do it back in the stick, should make it easier.
Might have to finagle it a bit
Ahh ok, I was thinking about giving that a try but considering I was hitting all points on PC/ps3 I thought it might be something else. I’ll give that a go when i get off work and report back. Appreciate the reply.
No worries, I’ve had issues myself with VS’s for some reason lately. Doing it first outside of the stick allows you to make sure the pins on the JLF connector are lining up, sometimes it just takes a bit of pressure to make it happen too.
Got it working, boards weren’t all the way in like you said. Taking it out of the VS helped a ton and I could clearly see what was happening. Everything is working great, super excited. Thanks again for the help 
Hey Phreak, do you know what would happen if I connected an xbox one pcb to cerberus?
I have a hori 360 pcb connected to cerberus which in turn is connected to remora. In order to keep the previous functionality and LEDs I was hoping I could just connect the xb1 pcb to cerberus too (so it has 2 pcbs feeding to it). I thought maybe it would notice its not ps3 and just pass through?
Not sure what would happen if cerberus passed power through to both the 360 and xb1 PCBs
I can’t confirm functionality if you add the XBone PCB to a dual modded set up. As I understand it the voltages on the I/O are lower, and I don’t know if it’s 5v tolerant since I haven’t tested it myself.
I do know that things like RT/LT probably won’t function if directly connected to the other signals, regardless, without some added components (what exactly I’m not sure yet).
For the USB, it doesn’t work like that unfortunately and will likely not auto-detect correctly if plugged into the XBone. The cerberus only has 1 secondary channel too (XD+/XD-), so I’m not quite sure how you mean to have both the 360 and Xbone USB channels go through the cerberus. You’d need a switch of some kind afterward to change up how the USB routes to the MS boards. If you can do that, and the I/O are OK to be connected together, in theory you could just rely on forcing the secondary channel via holding LP on plug in and you’d still only have the single USB cable coming from the stick.
edit:
heh, actually, if you had an IMP, you could have that act as the switch and the “switch over” signal could be tied to LP also. Meaning:
Imp primary channel: 360 PCB
Imp secondary channel: Xbone
Imp out -> run to Cerberus’ XD-/XD+
What that would give you is that Cerberus would see the 360 while plugging in and swap over as normal where the imp is already set to route to the primary channel. Holding LP while plugging in not only forces the cerb to swap to the secondary channel but also does so to the Imp, giving a direct line to the XBone.
Thanks man, great info!
Did not know this!
Does cerberus need power to do the passthrough thing?
What I mean is, if I was to use a 2nd usb cable that went directly to the xbone pcb and connect all the signals to the existing hori 360 pcb would the signals reach their destination when neither 360 nor cerberus are getting power (so signals go from xbone > hori 360 > cerberus > remora > buttons)?
Golden rule of dual mods: All PCBs MUST be powered at the same time.
If you don’t follow that weird stuff can happen.
Doesn’t that mean one of the MS boards wouldn’t be powered at the same time?
USB data gets routed, power however is consistent across everything.
My stick just randomly started saying “unknown device, usb device malfunctioning” in forced 360 mode on my PC the other day. It works just fine in my 360 and on other computers I try it on. I reseated both sets of USB cords and still nothing.
Any ideas? I’m assuming at this point, it’s a PC issue. I already formatted and reinstalled Windows 7 and it still gives me this error.
