Dual console modding TE’s stick xbox360 (ps3+xbox360 compatible)

Hi Toodles and fellow TE stick users! i was just wondering which Cthulhu was required to dual mod the 360 TE stick (to work on both ps3 and xbox360).

really confused if its supposed to be the "Toodles Cthulhu PC/PS3 Board " for $40 as seen as the first one in
http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/pages/boards.shtml

or if i should get the “Toodles MC Cthulhu Board (Multiconsole)” as seen here

http://www.modchipman.com/toodles-mc-cthulhu-board-multiconsole-p-1631.html

AFter reading alot i got totall confused as i THINK i came across a thread saying you can dual mod with the Toodles Cthulhu PC/PS3 Board found on the lizardlick and that the multi console model wasnt needed?.

I’ve never ever solded anything so i’m hoping its a simple process =( got to search for a guide as well eventually for the TE’s

thanks everyone :rofl:

1722

Either board will work in a TE. Even if you get an assembled, there will still be soldering involved.

1723

They’re the same board except one supports more consoles like PS2, Gamecube, Xbox (Multi Console edition).

You can use either one of them to dual mod a 360 stick.

1724

thanks Toodles and lucky for the fast response.

As a first time solder do you think its a simple process for the TE sticks? I am eager to have a shot myself with a bit of DIY or do you recommend me paying a professional to do it ( if it really is that technical)

ive read somewhere that there is an actual specific guide for dual console modding the xbox 360 version TE stick with Cthulhu Boards but i havent found it yet.

Looks like i’ll be ordering 3 of those from you when you have stock again Toodles =)
btw i was wondering how much postage was to australia for 3? all the websites seem to be OUT OF STOCK and wont let me proceed to the postage costs since there is no stock.

if its better for you toodles i’ll order directly from you

cheeers

Same idea as this, even though it’s an SE in the thread.

You will just have to find where the Ground and VCC is on the TE if it’s a different pcb.

wow thanks luckyday. i dont know what a ground and VCC is but i’ll figure it out somehow! (so much jargon to get used to).

all this talk about imp and switches haha. this is looking like it’ll be a nightmare for a first time

1727

You only need to use the Imp if you’re sharing the USB cable. You can just follow the directions on that thread about the Chthulu and 360 pcb.

1728

Hello,

If I can connect a USB cable to the MC board and then just use an usb–>xbox1 adapter instead of soldering on an actual xbox extension cable… would the PS3 only board allow me to do the same thing?

If not… is there a difference when using an usb->xbox1 adapter vs soldering the xbox1 extension cable directly to the board?

Thanks

1729

Does anyone see any blaring problem with me using the turbo button on a TE stick as a PS button? (I’m waiting for Cthulhu to get back in stock but have already soldered a wire to the copper of the button)

1730

Does anybody know of a vendor that has these in stock NOW for ordering? I just scored a 360 TE and need one ASAP!

1731

same here, I need a cthulhu kit before i can start enjoy my 360 TE.

1732

The first page knows of at least 2 vendors that sell them and should have them in stock! The first page is kind of a know-it-all, use it wisely (and often)! :smile:

1733

they will show out of stock once you process to checkout (both of them) …

1734

I thought I saw the guy from ModChipMan saying he had them in stock recently…maybe I was mistaken…but anyway, the point of my answer remains and if none of the listed resellers have them in stock you won’t be able to get them until they do (which should be soon since Toodles assured the resellers wouldn’t run dry) or until Toodles finishes his finals. :smile:

1735

I can’t guarantee the resellers won’t run dry. I can only gaurantee I’ll handle their orders, and so far I have been.

Now convincing them to place bigger orders so they dont spend 1 day stocked and 9 days out of stock, that’s another matter. :rofl:

1736

Wow my Cthulhus just arrived only a week later, thanks Toodles!

USPS may be a lucky dip, but our AusPost generally takes that long just mailing simple letters interstate.

EDIT:

I just plugged them each in to the usb to check the custom strings I asked for, one is correct but the other is still the generic Cthulhu MC Edition message. This doesn’t bother me as it still allows me to identify each controller, but someone else might be confused if they receive my second one and be thinking “WTF IS A BEARDPI?” :smiley:

Just to let you know.

1737

My fully assembled kit plus an Imp arrived today in the UK. Thank you Toodles!

1738

Yeah, that’s what I meant :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, I guess resellers are afraid the SFIV rush is about to wind down and don’t wanna get extra stock, I don’t see any other reason not to order more, it’s their loss tbh :rofl:

Hi Toodles,

I’ve been trying to get in contact with you since last week by email but perhaps your mailbox marcus@marcuspost.com is full? Anyways, I just resent the same email a few minutes ago.
Btw, I also have a msn messenger account. It is akfii@hotmail.com. So if you prefer online chat, just add me and we can talk over messenger.

With my best regards,
Jonathan

Hi Toodles, I have a question regarding the MC Cthulhu. Is it possible to add Wii support as a Classic Controller to it? I know that there are little advantages over using the GC port (“semi-wirelesness” and access to more buttons are the only ones I could think of) but I want to know if there are plans to implement this or if it is possible at all.
