Guide to wiring Cerberus advanced install to te/se pcb with pictures!

hey guys yenjoi here and I decided I would put this together to help some people who have problems or don’t really know where to start if they accidently picked up or their stick isn’t compatible with the easy install of the Cerberus.

one of the benefits of the board is that it can get incredibly small and that helps hide dual mods like the past. I really enjoy this board and for sure recommend it for other modders anyways lets start!!!

I Do not have a dremel on hand but I hope to soon. so what I did was I had some super duper sharp shears and shed off a good amount off the left side. the reason I didn’t trim just the pcb out is because this particular stick is a led mod as well so in order to supply power to the led board I kept the extra vcc and ground that is on the board just to make it easier on me and well look better too.

so lets start with the board. the board already comes labeled but I took the liberty to label it even more so you for sure do not get confused I even place where you are supposed to put the usb wires from you old pcb.

you will see everything there. Your attack buttons, your directions, your led player indicator lights, and your start select guide buttons. this is just as a reference picture so you do not get confused. just to note is that I have the board orientated this particular way for a reason. don’t get confused if your board doesn’t match it just might be in the other direction :slight_smile:

K secondly lets start wiring I already I have a TE pcb that although works with the easy install the advanced install is about $20 cheaper and well is hidden more. This second picture will show you where to wire to the bottom of the original te pcb starting with the buttons

its easy to get lost on this board so make sure you wire everything correctly so that everything works the way you want it to. when I wired this particular mod. I had no plans to wire the 4p and 4k buttons. so if you want to omit them then you do not have to wire them in order for the dual mod to work you can omit as many buttons as you so choose to.

allright now that you have your buttons and start select and home all wired up time to wire the directional inputs and the usb wires that are from your original pcb board. simply follow the guide and you should have no problem. also the board is already nicely labeled underneath. but this is just as a visual reference for some people who need it

this particular image is in my opinion a great reference for future mods because well. Originally I had no clue as to where to connect the original pcb wires to the Cerberus board because the #1 rule to dual mods is that everything must be connected for power. allright well now you have everything all wired now its time to test it out. since this is a TE stick what I did was load two games on steam KOF xiii and USF4 the reason is because usf4 can only read xbox 360 controllers from what I have experienced so load up the game and plug in your stick holding jab so that it boots to xbox 360 mode and everything should be wired and acting correctly. Now the kof xiii the reason I choose this game is because it auto dectects what kind of board you are using. so load up kof xiii and when you go to controls it should say Cerberus 1.1 as long as you have not held the jab button while plugging in the stick. Also you can simply check in windows by going to devices and connecting your stick. if you hold jab should come up as xbox 360 controller if you don’t it should say Cerberus if they both show up success!! you have successfully dual modded your stick with the advanced method.

now depending on how you install this it will be exposed or not im going to show you how mine turned out it also has the fgwidget installed at this point see you would never see the Cerberus pcb :slight_smile:

this particular stick is up for sale as well :slight_smile: so if you are interested let me know also let me know if you had success and this helped you install this mod. pretty simple but doesn’t really show you everything I hope this guide covered any questions you had previously and if not well ask away and I will do my best to help you out

I admire your enthusiasm, however… that stick IMO needs to be completely refinished… bad (really really) paint, poorly cut art (is there even a plexi on it?) and the bezel looks rough…

that and your wiring diagram is hard for folks to see… there are plenty of em out there that are easier to use.

You are trying to sell it for 200… that may be a bit steep considering that it needs to be completely redone.

I see what you mean and I completely understand. there is no plexi on it yet at least. it will later. the art I already took off because this install was poopy. the bezel not going to lie has been through hell and back. got it for free however previous owner liked chopped it up and painted it black and that’s probably where it fails here.

I haven’t found any diagrams that’s why I thought I could help some folks out. I think its pretty easy to follow but then again of course I can follow it easily I made it :frowning:

By chance do you still have this unit? If so would it be possible for you to send me more pictures of the soldering job.
