First wave of third party Xbox One padhack options

[gahrling]

Hurm…

[Gummo]

Any info on where to get it?

On another note, the new power a minI xb1 pad, that has a headphone jack, doesn’t work on ps3 like the first ones did by holding start or select down during plug in.

I got the picture from Arcadeshock’s instagram. From the other pictures on his instagram it appears these controllers were from a parts/gaming expo in Japan. So I imagine the controller will be available later this year for purchase.

Sucks about the new PowerA XB1 pad not being PS3 compatible anymore. But there are enough original mini xb1 pads on ebay for a dirt cheap price that it shouldn’t be a problem to get them.

Is the Xbox guide/home button necessary to play on Xbone or X360 (I don’t own them)? I’m using a MKX PDP board and I can’t seem to get it to work. maybe because I accidentally put too much tin and it get on both sides.

So desolder and fix it

There been some confusion with people what Diode to use.
I am sure Gummo and Vicko would agree just use any regular diode

But for people who need a specific recommendation, use NXP Semiconductors 1N4148,113
Digikey, part # : 568-1360-2-ND or Mouser Part #: 771-1N4148-T/R
You can find this resistor in most online retailers like Spark Fun, Ada Fruit and brick and mortar stores like Fry’s or Radio Shack.

The Diode should be about 10 to 15 cents each. Maybe a pack of 10 for $1 to $1.50.
If they are asking more than 15 cents a diode they are asking too much or your looking at the wrong diode.

At my local store, there is only “150MA 100V DO-35 1N4148” diodes. It’s not 200MA. Would that work?

don’t think it matters.

You should be fine, there is not that much power in those signal lines for the mA (milliamp) rating to matter.

What I linked was the first diode I found that was cheap, commonly found diode that did the job.
It does not matter if the diode’s housing is glass or ceramic, if the semiconductor is silicone or geranium.
You can get away with a Zener Diode, Diode Rectifier or a Schottky Diode, in this application they all to the same job.

The diodes you would not use would be a LED, Photodiode, Thermal Diode or a Bridge rectifier.

Please keep in mind diodes do have a polarity and if you install your diodes backwords your buttons will not work.

Hey guys, adding diodes made the triggers work for my Atrox 360 + Horipad + Brook PS4 fightboard, sort of. It works in 360 mode and xbox, but now the PS4 board won’t be recognized. If I cut the trigger lines to Horipad, the fightboard is back to normal. Any ideas?

I used stevedave’s pics to show how I wired mine up and then I threw together a quick paint diagram to show how I have it wired in my stick. I checked for a bridge between the U and GND but it looks clear. Any help is appreciated!

So I’m curious about this design. If say the usb feed through for the PDP pad is Feed-A & the Hori FC is Feed-B, could this work where instead of chainging the usb cable on the inside, it’s a matter of plugging into either Feed-A or Feed-B outside? Of course I’d still have to make sure to wire the VCC together from each pad.

Why not just use an imp or DPDT switch
2 cables is nasty
you’re probably going to wrap one or both cables around the stick and that’s just ugly
or if you use 2 neutriks that’s just more work
