ok do i have to do this or can i solder directly to the stick and buttons. i dont understand what im suppose to connect them too.
I should probably get that part up, but I don’t have a fancy crimper like rtdzign. Only my pliers… which kills like 20% of my quickdisconnects
The one rtdzign has in those pictures are from RadioShack.
Not fancy like my ratcheting crimpers that cost $250+. :sad:
Laugh.
His is actually an Automatic Wire Stripper.
But with a Crimper in the handle.
So choose how much you want to spend.
Only $16.99 for the one of rtdzign.
I know why you have such fine tools… :wgrin: Heh heh…
I never found the need for crimpers…
but using pliers kind of hurts after a while.
Do I have to press hard with crimpers?
I say having a crimper will definitely help with the sore hands.
I actually use the automatic stripper solely for stripping since I like thin 26 gauge wire and it is good for that.
The tool on the left solely for crimping because it has more force closer to the fulcrum. The tool on the left though has trouble stripping anything less than 22 gauge.
The Radio shack autostripper is a piece of crap for crimping, look the handle broke and fell off and I had to use epoxy to glue it back on, also the metal broke through the handle because of my manly pistachio cracking seimitsu hands. What you though I was joking? I often kill rabbits on accident when I pick them up you could call me Lenny.

I’m thinking of ordering this, because having two tools is kinda annoying. It looks like it might survive my death grip.

Dude, I didn’t know you were that manly.
I think you are more man than man.
Your pistachio crunching hands.
Only a Seimitsu man could be so manly.
i just wanted to ask, would this chip work for the triggers?

edit:
nevermind, i got the correct chip after all.
finally got my hex invertor in the mail waiting on my almost 90 dollars worth of Sanwa parts to ship should show up monday. does anyone have advice on what type of wood i should use for the box im making a solid wood box… i want a three layer wood frame like its a dark wood light wood dark wood kinda like a sandwhich i guess. i dont know what would be good for the top and bottom
got the triggers working easy to do using this sweet guide. man i\I’m on edge till my parts come in
is it possible to connect a sanwa jlf-tp-8t to the left analog stick of the 4716? there are 3 contacts each for the X direction and Y direction. how would i be able to connect that to the joystick?
Why do you want to do that instead of using the directional pad?
Some fighting games such as Naruto use the analog stick to move while the directional pad is for special items or taunting. It would probably make more sense to padhack a sf4 fightpad since there’s a switch on the controller to switch between the dpad and the analog sticks. i just want to know if it’s possible to hook up the analog stick of the 4716 to the jlf since the analog stick requires two different grounds for vertical and horizontal movement.
Did you, or anyone, ever resolve this particular issue? I have that problem as well. While it doesn’t negatively affect my gaming experience, it’s still annoying.
I ordered an imp and a madcatz 4716 control pad to hack into my ps3 te rnd 1. I searched everywhere on where do you connect the usb cord from the madcatz 4716 to? I cannot find anything on this. Can anyone direct me to any tutorials or pics?
I know how to solder on the wires to the 4716 but where do go from there…to the ps3 pcb, the imp and the buttons and joystick.
The data plus and minus from the Madcatz pad go to the imp (doesn’t matter if primary or secondary. Entirely up to you). the ground and vcc should already be linked to the other pcb.
Oh man i must be an idiot.
I think the first two pictures explain my questions no? lol:confused:
I don’t know what pictures you’re talking about.
Just connect the Data +/- to the imp. If you hooked up the rest of the signals right, you’ll already have the vcc and ground wired to the other pcb.
