Hey if someone could help me out for a sec i’d appreciate it.
I have this third party ps2 controller that i want to use for my arcade stick project box,each button on the pcb has 3 connections(1 is VCC).
Can i just solder to the ground and data and ignore VCC?
I’m not sure since i never tried to hack this type of controller,here’s a picture.

I’m back!!! Working on modding one of my SFA sticks, bought this Ultimate Fighting Stick (wireless for XB/PS2) if you have seen one of these, its by Nakiworld pearlwhite, looks really pretty, but not so sure how well it plays yet, but plan to mod it anyway. Gotta go, peace ya’ll.
Anyone have a PCB Map for the PS1 Dual Shock H series?:karate:

Isn’t it great for a joystick top panel?
akky!!!
thanks SOO much, been looking for psyvariar 2 wallpapers for a long time(didn’t find on success’ main page)!
i used some ikaruga art for my stick panel
plenty more ikaruga stuff here http://www.ikaruga.co.uk/files/misc/
Let us know all you find out about that stick, some of us have been interested in knowing how well it works and how usable the pcb is in other projects. Measurements or pictures of the pcb would be awesome if your feeling nice.
Wow, that’s great!
I have been searching these forums, and as far as I have seen, I haven’t come across a basic Tutorial for wiring a specific PCB, such as the H-series Dual shock or what have you. I see a lot of posts mentioning that you should use an H-Series because of compatability and ease of use, but can anyone point me to a tutorial or a map of what to solder and to what?
I’m just learning to solder, but I think I have the technique down, I just need a basic totorial.
I have also seen a solderless tutorial for the A-series, which I have as well, but I think there were problems mentioned about the buttons not working with that setup?
If it matters, I was looking into using a red octane case with a Happ buttons and a sanwa stick. Thanks.
I had a quick question to ask you guys. I have a DC Agetec but I want a Sanwa based stick for my Ps2. Would it make more sense to mod out the Agetec and put a Psone pcb in there or should I just start from scratch and make a new case?
I have a question: I’d like to build a custom stick, but need it to be compatible with both PS2 and Xbox. Is it possible to do that without having to use any converters (which often create lag), and where would I find instructions?
If not, I have no choice but to purchase either the SF:AC stick or the Ultimate Fighting Stick and swap out the parts…
Hey, I just recieved a mas stick from a friend with no buttons and no base but just the stick left in it and i was wondering if i have everything needed for the repair job. Im gonna get 10 happ ultimate pushbuttons to replace the buttons and I plan to do spiffyshoes solderless Dualshock A hack with some 22 gauge stranded hook up wire and some .187 quick discs. I have access to a soldering iron if needed. Is there anything else i need?
ImMrDurp: Yes, it is possible. That issue has been addressed in this thread. Try using the search feature and try to find it that way. You mentioned the Ultimate Fighting Stick, is that the pearl white stick that is wireless and with the 2 analog rollers on it? I have both of them and plan to do some modding when I get back to Cali which should be this weekend. I say hold on to your money and do some more research. It pays to research, read, and learn. Actually it saves you money and you don’t have to pay to do the above, lol. Whatever you decide to do, let us know, and don’t be timid to ask any other questions here. You may want to try to PM Armad1ll0 for some suggestions or visit his site at www.modeverything.com and email him from there too. I won’t be back to the board until maybe late Friday evening, or as early as Saturday morning.
TheDumadagger: You should be straight dawg. You do have all the tools you need right? Of course you do!
P.S. To all you new people on this thread, Please rate it!! 5*'s 
Thanks
Sorry I didn’t search, but I’ve given up on doing that in forums since for every related post a search finds, it seems to find 10,000 extraneous ones.
Anyways, that is the Universal Joystick I was talking about, though it doesn’t seem to be listed on Gamestop.com anymore, and I don’t know of anywhere else it was being sold.
So where could I find instructions on making a fully custom multi-console (PS2 and Xbox) arcade stick? I can build the box and know what buttons/joystick I want, but beyond that, I’m clueless.
Thanks for helping me out! :tup:
Me and my friend just got finished working on repairing my mas stick and it works fine and all except for a few problems. Some buttons wont register if pushed at the same time such as the start and select, square and triangle, circle and x, etc. I have a feeling that theyre registering one right after the other since if i press x+o with raven he either does the 4~3 launcher move or 3~4 cartwheel. The even weirder part is that they do register at the same time if i do like qcf+square+triangle to do hvb or qcf+circle+square for tempest. its like i need to combine these buttons with directionals to make them register at the same time yet if i push them by themselves they wont work, as i tested in mvc2 by trying to dash. I attached a few pics of the mas stick guts and the pcb used (a madcatz control pad pro). Im not very knowledgable abut electronics and this was me and my friend’s first soldering job. Any tips will be greatly appreciated :tup:

Just got done cutting the top panel for my first stick a couple days ago, the buttons were a little more spaced out than I would have liked, but it seems pretty decent so far, just doing finger placement.

It’s not wired yet because I’m trying to decide whether I really want to use a project box or not. I also need more quick disconnects. Oh, and I need side panels and a bottom cover hehe
I know most of you guys are talking about something completely different, but here is my problem:
I just got my Happ parts for my old RedOctane case. They appear to fit great, but I got a problem. The wood on the panel is about an inch thick, and it seems like it’s just too deep for the Competition stick. What is the best way I can make it less deep? I’ve seen some pics of some happ sticks, and they seem to be pretty low also, just like mine. However, it just doesn’t feel right.
My second problem is that the screw bolts aren’t in the appropriate places for the stick. I don’t have a drill, so would it be a wise idea to use a screwdriver to try to secure it?
Please tell me so I can get this baby running and post up some pics. =P
damn that’s a weird ass looking pcb… did you chop off the other part that held the analog sticks?
i know some models of psx dual shock pads need those left on… or weird shit happens
What I did is bought a chisel at home depot…and just chisled out the wood. Sanded and
continued. Took about an hour. I dont like the sticks real low too. Im used to 360s now
with the longer shaft.
how do you hook up an old PSX pad? the one without the little copper plates?
thanks (btw, i know which black things are grounds and which are buttons… help from there would be appriciated
