Does anyone have a picture of the finished product done cleanly in a TE? I’d like to see the best way to mount everything and route the wires.
I just did wired up the guts by themselves and it worked but it looks like shit. I want to redo this this correctly, cleanly, in my TE.
Is there a better diagram of this picture?
Because you used the same color to represent the wires, and the way they blend, its kinda hard to distinguish exactly where the wires are supposed to be hooked up to. Is there a better picture to illustrate this? for example, i can see that you used the ground from the left directional button, but i cant tell if the top or bottom is the ground cause the wires are the same color
a picture like this would be cool:
as it clearly shows where everything goes

And where the wires go to?
They are in the Cthulhu Welcome Document.
I don’t think it is effective to draw a clean diagram. I copied the welcome doc info because you should do it by looking at the list in the doc rather than following a picture of criss crossed wires.
I also did not want to include 6 pictures of diagrams for the 6 (2005-2007 4716, 2008+4716, Retro, Fightpad, SE/TE, TE-s) different Xbox 360 PCBs you can use, because you should already know how to padhack a pcb if you’re attempting this, and there are other tutorials written to do this.
Like I said, I suggest beginners to not attempt this. Finding grounds for a button is a pad hacking basic skill. That is why you buy a multimeter to figure out what side is ground by doing a continuity check between known ground buttons.
Awesome!! Thanks, those pics help sooo much. and thanks rtdzign for the guide. now that my box is done, gonna be starting the wiring process soon
Very good work rtdzign !!
I did the same dual mod but with a madcatz 2007 4716 gamepad, and my problem is :
I can switch to Xbox360’s mode on PC but not on Xbox360 system :sad:
every thing works fine on PC and the MC Cthulhu works fine too.
any idea please ? thanks in advance !!
No idea. If I had to guess it may be the xbox. Try making a new USB cable without the breakaway thing if you already have the stuff handy.
Thank you for the quick reply !!!
I’ll try using another USB cable.
Will this work if the 360 PCB and Cthulhu are both wired to the buttons through a terminal strip, instead of the 360 PCB piggybacking onto the Cthulhu? That’s my current setup (with a DPDT switch).
Yes.
Will it work properly if the D+ and D- lines are coming from the D+ and D- points on the MC Cthulhu instead of columns 5 and 6 on row 1?
Yes. If there is a USB Jack, it will be harder to solder to though.
If you take a multimeter and do a continuity test, you will see that D- is connected to 5 and D+ is connected to 6.
uh… im having some MAJOR problems. wired up a fightpad with mc cthulu with a DPDT switch and this is whats happening
when i set the dpdt to my xbox fightpad and hook it up to my pc, everything is in neutral and its normal, but as soon as i push any button, simultaneously my right trigger Z axis becomes at maximum and gets stuck there. any reason why it would do that?
also when i switch the DPDT to the cthulu, my pc doesnt recognize the cthulu, is that normal? cause i tried it without the RJ45 jack --> custom rj45 to USB (through the USB) and it recognized it. my custom wire DOES work with the DPDT on 360, except for the aformentioned problem
gotta be the wiring. post high res pictures,
nvm i fixed it. i had the orange/white and the solid orange wires mixed up from the rj45 cable
Yep. One of those is ground. Getting that wrong will break everything.
This guide is great. Thanks!
This guide is great…will come in handy in my next project…
Awesome guide. I’ll be sure to post up if I run into any problems while doing the mod.
Using Hori Stick?
Is it possible to use this mod with a Xbox 360 HRAP EX/EX SE/VX SA?
Also:
I might just be confused, but if I want to use multiple systems that means I have to wire multiple rows on the MC Cthulhu board?
Then, does that mean using multiple Ethernet chords to connect to the passthrough port of RJ-45 from the MC Cthulhu PCB rows for each of the specified systems and then connect the actual controllers to the RJ-45 output? (Because you mentioned using either row 1 or 2 instead of 3 and 4 for Playstation)
Or are the Multi-Console capabilities done all in one row? Because that’s what it looks like to me from reading both of your recent tutorials.
