Great work Kyle, you’ve really inspired me to try this out!
I just went out to a local gamestop and bought the last of the 360 madcatz gamestop controllers they had for my dual-mod. It’s the same controller but I just checked the back and its one from 2009. Any difference between it and the 2008 diagram? I can open it up and take a pic of the PCB if that would get me a better answer.
it should be the same. it will say ver.C in the top left of pcb.
Thanks, I really tried to make this accessible for anyone who wanted to try it. Feel free to post back if you have any questions.
Yeah, I’ve seen a few reports that they’re identical. It’s wild. I’ve bought a few of these pads recently and I still haven’t seen an '09er. I’m in a small town and they go in and out of stock.
Thanks for the feedback
a recent MC '08 pad i worked on had an '07 pcb with the easy to hack triggers.
My 3rd mod. Hori Tekken 5 10th Anniversary stick.
Dual-mod with the existing Hori PCB + 2009 version MadCatz 360 pad. Only difference in using the 2009 vs 2008/2007 versions of the MadCatz pad is that the triggers are active LOW rather than HIGH. You need to invert that signal if you plan on using the triggers; otherwise don’t pull them off. Put hot glue on them to keep them from triggering. If you want to use the triggers, the forum telling you how to fix them is at http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=169203. Look at the 2nd page where Toodles drew a schematic for hooking up the triggers; works perfectly.
2 extra buttonholes at the moment that will be filled as soon as my next order from Lizard Lick comes in. JLF + all Sanwa buttons.
Flames done in photoshop. Background is a viper snakeskin image I turned into a pattern and colored gray. I decided on this artwork cuz I love the character… I’m not even into SF4 that much just yet haha. I suck horribly, but she’s awesome. 
I’ll take pics of the inside for others’ example once I get my extra buttons and open it back up and get everything nice and clean inside.
I bought an official PSX digital pad, but it doesn’t appear to match any of the PCBs listed on that PCB diagram website. The imprint at the back doesn’t have a letter code - just simply “SPCH-1080 Made in China”
Does anyone know if the 3.3v wire is a specific colour on the 7-wire cable pinout?
My current project is dual modding my PS3 TE stick with a PS1 digital pad - does anyone know where the 5v solder point is on the PS3 PCB?
How would I go about doing this mod with a happ p360?
Is the late version MS pad actually common ground? I’ve heard it both ways. All the buttons/directions except the triggers directly share a ground, but the triggers’ ground is the main one to the console. Can this pad still be used in a dual mod without major modification?
wait wait so does this mean this mod works with the exception of the T buttons on the 360 or do they all get dual moddied together and work in tandem?
If you’re asking if the triggers can work then apparently they can. I don’t wire them personally because they’re a pain. If you’re asking something else then please clarify and I’ll take a stab at it.
Ok will do hopefully Ill attempt this after I get the solder kit at college tommorow if not ill update you for sure…by a pain do you mean a bitch to actually solder or something else?
Hello.
Before all, excuse me by my poor english
I want to build an arcade stick with dual wireless pcb: xbox360 and PC/PS2/PS3 compatible pcb. XBOX360 pcb is an original microsoft pad (late version with common grounds). Another pcb is a not common ground pcb, it has a ground in digital buttons (select, start, mode) and another ground to analogic buttons, i.e. directions, square, circle…
I want to power pcbs with an unique batery and I want to use two DPDT switch: ono switch to power on/off and another switch to select XBOX360 pcb or PC/PS2/PS3 pcb.
I haven’t commond grounds in both pcb’s, then I thought that several diodes could solve my problem. A generic diagram with three buttons (complete stick has eight buttons plus service buttons) would be:

Can this diagram have any problem? I want to power only a pcb, I want to each pcb works alone. If with this diagram it don’t work, how could I do?
Thank you very much.
Anyone know how to dual mod if the JLF I have has got a 5 pin connector? How am i supposed to daisy chain them together??
Just connect the ground wire from the joystick harness as your last stop on the daisy chain. It works fine.
Lol omg its true should’ve thought harder, cheers.
Btw I’m using the teminal block method and im using the up button as ground for all the buttons, does it matter if before i begin to daisy chain all the buttons i must go through a terminal or does this not affect it at all. (Just felt decisive due to another tutorial showing the ground wiring going through a terminal and then the up button using a seperate terminal to connect to the up on the joystick)
hi, i need some help on dual modding 360 TE with ps1 pad.
i have done few mods but this one is giving me a problem.
i’m using one of official sony psone pad and wired them up and stuffed it into te.
i check all the soldering and wiring on ps side and after installing into te case, ps side works fine.
but 360 side is not working. i have check the wiring over and they look fine.
when i disconnect ps completely 360 works. i don’t understand specially since ps side is working fine even when hooked up to te but 360 te doesn’t.
since both controllers are common ground, and using separate cable, there should be no need for switch or anything, right?
and if its the wiring thats fucking up i wouldn’t think ps side would work neither…
so if anyone can help me out, please do.
ok i figured out. i didnt connect 3v line from ps1 pad to 360s 5v line so ic and resisters were acting up.
Question: I have a CPSF Stick I had already padhacked for my 360, but I also have a Madcatz GCN controller sitting here as well. I am wondering if I should dual mod for TvC (LOVE that game btw) but I am having trouble wrapping my head around what is going on physically when you dual mod a stick.
Basically from what I’ve learned when you padhack you are essentially using the joystick buttons as replacement switches instead of the pad’s buttons, right? Why is it, then, do you need to connect power to both PCBs? I understand connecting ground to keep it common, but why does the power need to be shared? Say for example I dual mod the 360 and GCN PCBs. Apparently what you do is connect the joystick buttons to both the 360 PCB and GCN PCB right? So when you plug in the GCN it functions normally, gets power from the port, and is independent of the 360 PCB and when you plug in the 360 USB its vice versa right? Am I missing some reason as to why the 360 PCB would need power when I’m using the GCN port and vice versa?
