Hey guys I just purchased a new dreamcast stick, but the buttons are stiff. Now I have watched some vids on youtube on how to mod it and I noticed that the buttons have a different wiring system than modern sticks. I cant just buy some 28mm buttons and plug them right in because the green goblin doesnt have “connectors” for it. I have modded an SE stick with ease but this one is different due to the buttons not able to just “plug in”. Ive seen that people cut the wires and attach them that way. Could I just cut the wires away from the old buttons and use electric tape to attach the wires onto the new buttons? Basically, will the electric current reach the button if I kinda make make the wires touch the two metal peices of the new buttons? Thank you for reading! Please help me!!
Even of it does make a connection, tape certainly won’t hold the wires together for any real amount of time. A small amount of solder will do the job.
Just get .110 quick disconnects and crimp them. It’s not that hard.
This is all I know
Thank you guys!!! I think ill buy those quick disconnects and see how it goes
I destroyed my vmu connector :(.
For me I did similar. Used a dremel on the top plate and widened the holes to 30mm and then popped in sanwa buttons.
Since then I got a Mad Catz te and swapped the buttons and ball top so now it has a white ball top and white buttons.
