This is the Panzer Side:
Since most of the SuperGuns I have been building lately use UD-USB for ease, my way forward on the matching side for SuperGuns is to keep the DB15 since there are many more NEO-GEO controllers and custom controllers that use that pinout. However, making the male version of this accessible as a standard could be use for those wanting to DIY their builds and make use of all of the extras.
OK then, I have not added a port to my stick yet for external boxes, so I might as well use that pinout when I do.
Hello again. I have one more project box completed… a bit late, but finally manage to get it done so here it is.
Tri-mod PS3/PS4/Xbox One

As you immediately noticed, I have fitted the touchpad and analog thumb stick into the project box… reason being is so that it is to future proof from any games that might need either of them.

The PCB comes from a Horipad One Xbox One Controller and Horipad 4 FPS Plus PS4 Controller. FYI, the Horipad 4 FPS Plus controller is not common ground but putting together some electronic components will overcome that. The Xbox One controller PCB has been completely stripped and the analogs has been neutralized with resistors. For the PS3/PS4 controller PCB, I have transfer most of the features (except for the so called “Target” button) and is all elegantly placed onto the project box.

The analog stick is hook up onto the PS4 pcb controller and is housed in a smaller project box. Two 4PDT switches are installed in the small project box and acts as a controller PCB switcher.

The analog stick can be easily swapped out for other styles… for example, here is a clear analog stick installed.

The single LED on the left of the project box is fitted with a Tri-Color LED… green is Xbox One, blue is PS4, and red is PS3.

On the right is two push button switches with LED indicator… top button is Assign (which can map one button to another) and the bottom is Turbo (rapid fire when pressed or auto-fire). The turbo rapid fire speed can be adjusted, but it needs the analog stick in order to do so. These two features only available on the PS3/PS4 controller PCB.
That’s it for now… thanks for reading.
Another project box, this time padhack a Horipad for the Nintendo Switch.
Top button is for Screenshot, bottom button is for Turbo
Spaghetti wiring inside the box.
I’ve been scouring these threads for the past 2 months and made an account today after finishing most of my first arcade stick mod and accompanying project box.
I had this OG Xbox controller lying around with a lot of the casing broken and shattered, including one of the triggers, due to a bad fall so I decided it would make a good candidate for my first attempt at a project box.
I popped out the giant xbox logo out of the controller and just glued it on top
standard DB-25 connector
It’s not much of a looker on the inside, but it works
bunch of wires soldered to the memory card sections, in case I want to add memory card mounts in the future
I haven’t cut out the slot for the connector on the stick itself yet, but most of the rewiring inside is already done.
EDIT:
bonus cheapskate testing setup
I was thinking on using a UD-USB to whatever pcb project boxes with db25s as the connectors between the two pcbs. This would make a future proof stick config pretty much, until one pcb dies lol. Example: Madcatz SE Ps3 to UD-USB via usb to Brook UFB via DB25 cord to console of choice via Brook UFB usb.
The project box setup is done. Since the original xbox uses USB I could just have the cable piggyback from the existing RJ-45 setup. Any possible future project boxes for non-USB systems would have to feature their own cables.
Nice implementation.
