Is that black electrical tape underneath the NTE? For this method all you need are x2 10 ohm resistors, x1 NTE, x1 ground wire, x1 power wire?
This is a big help, thank you!
Iām still trying to figure out this issue with the left trigger. When I test this in the windows app, the left trigger pot responds when I turn it, but the right trigger one does not. However, the right trigger functions properly in game whereas the left trigger registers both triggers when pressed. Depending on how I turn the left pot, it may also activate diagonal down.
Iām not sure if this means that the right pot is broken or not. Any thoughts or guesses would be appreciated. 
EDIT: stickās finally finished. I went from the pot method back to the resistors and magically it worked fine. And by magically I mean I ripped off the copper pad that was holding on by a thread and scratched the trace to the right.

I was able to get my triggers working properly, thanks toodles. I saw the above post from toodles and was wondering if anyone could tell me why not. I have some Cthulhuās on the way (Not MCās) and was going to use this madcatz with it for a dual mod. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
Anyone?
omg is this legit?? quoted for answers. needs more explanation. im very anxious to know and will test this out myself to rid of the whole resistor mod in its entirety
The whole original point of this thread was for the newer madcatz pads with the inverted triggers, not active low triggers like on a proper CG pad (madcatz retro arcade stick, early CG madcatz pads). Your directions donāt touch on how to determine which one you have, or what to do if you have one.
Hey Toodles. Donāt know if you saw my post above or not. Why do you say not to use this newer madcatz pad in a dual mod. I have this pad, have done the transistor mod and was going to use it alongside a Cthulhu board. Could you advise? Many thanks.
The stick will report the triggers are pressed all the time via the Cthulhu board. The only way to do a dual board mod using this 360 pad is with the inverter chip.
you can do a dual mod with the transistor method as long as you use a diode for each trigger.
Can you do up a diagram for everyone? I didnāt see one going back through the thread. Maybe I missed it.

4716, the most common one bought and wired up for
toodles, i think this works because when u tap both signal and + u get a response. the issue with this is that you cant put this in a dual pcb set up because any connected ground will short the circuit with the +
(signal line from button/other board)---------|<|------(base pin of transistor)
But in all honesty itās still a bit hackish. Using an inverter chip is really the best way to do this. Easiest, fewest part, better compatability with other mods.
I can re-confirm that the 2009 version requires the transistor/inverter hack. Unfortunately since this is my first time wiring a pad I managed to completely destroy the high and wiper pads on LT in the process of figuring it out (pulled the little bits of solder right out of the board, guess they were glued down and I melted that or something).
wowā¦wiring up triggers seems to much work for meā¦ill just stick to the bumpers o.o;
I want some clarification for the Mad Catz Retro arcade stick, all i need is 10 ohm resistors and Iām good to go?
Found IT! :bgrin:
I redrew Toodleās Inverter Chip method diagram and compiled the pertinent text along with it. Hopefully I didnāt make any errors when re-interpreting the diagram.
Iāll actually be trying this out myself tonight with a 2008 series pad.
That looks perfect.
Thank you trabus for doing this, it looks very professional. One little nitpick, the trigger pots are mirror images of each other on the pad. I donāt remember which way they are but it has been the same on all the ones that I have hacked.
