If I plan to use 11 buttons, and a P360 (4 directions), according with this photo, it seems like you need only 15 connections + 1 (all common ground), but P360 got 6 connectors, Left, Down, Right, Up, Ground and +5, I’m not able to locate where should I connect the +5.
I have connected the dualshock at my Ps2, and I measured with the multimeter, all points (I stick the Ground Probe at point 7, and touch the others points) but It seems that I only get 3.3v, I’m doing something wrong? or I got some kind of bad PSOne Dualshock Series-A?

Thats all for now, I’m sure as soon as I start building it, more doubts show on, hope someone can guide me.
No, it’s legit.
Just be warned that some p360’s don’t like to play with the voltage a PSX provides. If yours work, great. If everything works but the stick, look into a DC-DC converter.
Look on the end of the PSX plug; theres nine pins total. The pin in the middle gets about 3.4v from the PSX/PS2. Most people tap there, just find out where the pin on the end is soldered onto the pcb and tap it there. Some p360’s work fine with the 3.4v, so give it a try. If it doesn’t work, and you’re sure you’re pulling power from the right spot, you’ll need to look into using a DC-DC step up converter.
