Long story short, I’m returning back to a project I started a while ago and seem to have lost a part. I’m not sure what the part is called, but it basically connected the PCB straight to the ps2 through a ps2 controller port. Cant find that cable anywhere so I have no idea how to connect my PCB to my ps2. I do have alot of spare dualshock 2 and third party ps2 controllers. How would I go about creating my own version of that cable? Is that even an option, is my only option to track down another ps2 Arcade stick and strip that? Thanks.
P.S Its a Tekken 5 ps2 stick.
Excuse my horrendous soldering skills, that was the first time I ever learnt how to.
The solder points for the pin connector are the ones above the chip. I was thinking of desoldering those points, remove the pin connector, get a ps2 cable from any of the controllers I have lying around, strip the wires and just solder those in place. But to be honest that sounds like a really bad idea since I wouldnt know what wires to solder where and I dont even know if that would work given the board is a common group PCB. I dont claim to be tech savvy at all so I probably have no idea what Im talking about.
A lot of photos of that of around but the quality of the photos is random because of the quality of camera phones back then… If you don’t buy another PS2 Stick or even check if the regular ps1/ps2 pads can be stripped. If not they can be padhacked easily as well.
If you have a PS3/PS4 Stick… Brook just released a PS3/PS4 to PS2 adapter that works with DS3/4 as well. Idk there would be a market for those but it could be an option for you
