How do I wire the LT and RT on a Madcatz Arcade Stick PCB?

On the OEM 360pcb I am using 1/4w, and from what I understand that should be fine for 3rd party as well (if my reading sources are correct). Just don’t mix and match them.

I just looked on ebay for resistors and for the 10k ones there are 0.25w, 0.4w, 2w, 7w… basically there are many different wattages but which one do i need?
Thanks all

Thanks for the reply dreamstate, think i will try the 1/4w and see what happens!

From previous posts above, it looks like this is the diode to use in a dual PCB setup: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062576&cp

Can anybody confirm?

Thanks!

Those should work, I used these: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2036269

If you only need 1 or 2, you can save 50 cents, haha.

thanks guys this has been really helpful i just have one question i know the diodes arent needed if i am only using this on the 360 but if i want to use it on mame as well should use the diodes.

with a common ground madcatz pcb (4716), are the trigger grounds the same as the common ground for all other buttons or do they have to use their own grounds?
