I think the easiest pad to hack is the Mad Catz one as it is common ground and literally has holes for all the buttons. You may need some resistors to disable the triggers, but I don’t know which ones to get.
Other option, and more expensive, is to buy an MC Cthulhu.
Or a Agetech Stick, but that negates the point as its a whole stick.
i say try to find used MC Cthulhu if possible, super easy. The Madcatz DC pads are hit or miss when it comes to Common ground pcbs.
It’s hard to find on-stock nowadays i’d love to have one but i had to get a ps360+ from Gummo lol
how easy is easy? lol…i have zero electrical skills, dont know how to solder or anything like that. i just have some woodworking skills. was gonna build a vewlix for my nephew.
i’ve scanned through the forums but couldnt find a tutorial for MC Cthulhu to specifically work with dreamcast. i must have missed it.
it will require some minor soldering. unless you get one of the jasen MC boards, but those are harder to find
Hey thanks.

Well… Jasens site shows in stock… But they’re “defective”… When are they selling defective boards? Lol
PS360+ and pick up some Dreamcast cords. You just have to wire the stick.

Direct from the product page:
“Theses [sic] MC Cthulhu boards do not work reliably on USB connections, i.e. PC or PS3. I think its not enumerating fast enough for the USB aspect to be recognized, i.e. its getting beyond the USB auto-detect faster than the PC can handshake with it. It has been tested working fine on some PSX, Dreamcast, and Gamecube consoles.”

It has recently been easier to find needles in haystacks than it has been to source these Akishop DC cables at retailers. Ordering from Akishop directly is an arduous measure of patience that few can endure…

Can’t find those boards available anywhere. Definitely be nice to get my hands on em.
If you can wait 3 months…

LOL… Ive ordered from them once before… And I probably never will again. They’re turn around time is just crazy.
I’ll probably sell a few things and post up wtb threads in the outlet once I’m eligible to post in there. I appreciate your inputs.
just get madcatz pads
