So I might have to soldier more than one ground? hats cool Ill try it to night.
thank you very much, but what exactly is daisy chaining, i think i have them like that but i never heard that term b4, but any way on the disconnect i have 2 wires one to the button for this disconnect and the other for the next button and so on
Are there any turorials dealing with the SONY brand PSX contoller?? I brought all the supplies and tools and now I’m broke and the only controller I have is that one:bluu:

Ok I’m very new at this. I haven’t even started actually but, I would like to make a arcade joystick for my DC and I’d like to make one without soldering. I think in the first page it said that some controllers dont need to be soldering. I might have read wrong. So if i am what controllers should i convert into arcade joysticks? Any help would be appreciated.
if i do recall correctly the ones u dont need to solder are the cheap dc joysticks or ps2 whichever one ur trying to do
I have this joystick called dragoncast and i was wondering if i could use that without soldering?
Open up the joystick, and if you see wires going from the board to a microswitch, then you don’t need to solder, I think. But if its a button with a rubber nipple looking thing that hits the board, then it needs to be soldered.
Sorry about the rubber nipple analogy, I couldn’t think of anything else! 
There were a couple of controllers/sticks listed that didn’t require soldering as I at first didn’t solder any of my sticks, and have just recently started doing so to give it a more ‘professional’ look I guess if you want to put it that way.
whats up peeps
i need two godly PS2 sticks
let me know what u guys can do
MAni
Hit me up on aim if u want my aim name is TuRbiN NaTOr
wow i’m so surprised that i’ve attempted to make on! it looks and feels so god damn good!!!
only thing is…i didn’t solder and wire yet. i need some mad tips cuhz i only have 1 madcatz DC controller and it’s fucking rare to find one.
Big props go to J-ride for helping me and encouraging me for bringing my hopes up to actually make one. so far i’ve done a very good job 
. thanks buddy 
Yea, I’d love a nice dreamcast stick, and I read that request two replies up so please don’t flame me if this isn’t a thread that allows requests, but if you’d be interested in helping me make or making me one, give me a message… Schizio over AOL IM or cardboard@mac.com
Will this fix a broken DC or just prevent breakage on a new DC? I had my controller ports blow, and I heard it’s fixable, but I have no knowledge of soldering or electronics, so I figure I’m stuck buying a new one (at this point most places won’t fix it for less than 30 some dollars, and a new DC is $30-40 at EB).
Oh yeah, is there any advantage to ball top sticks? I know most commercial sticks they sell over here are ball-tops, but I allways found them annoying and uncomfortable, and they aren’t accurate to the arcades either. However, a korean friend of mine said in Asia they use ball tops in the arcades. I remember back when Capcom released an official SF2 stick for SNES it was a ball top also. What’s the deal?
trackz try doing an ex move in 3s with hp+mp or hk+mk. Because i made a stick using the performance astropad and there was analog problems, with i press L+x, i would get L~X instead. very weird.
btw trackz: for putting custom artwork on my stick should i print on a sticker and just lay it on top? or print regular on glossy paper and use plexi. Can i get a sticker printed on glossy paper? I need one of 20" x 17". How much would that cost to print on glossy and glossy w/ sticker? It says on your site that 1 square foot is $10. Does that mean that i can get a whole 20 x 17 printed on one sheet and not have to tape 2 11x17 pieces together?
I’m not trackz, but I’ll help you out with this one. Kinkos my friend, Kinkos. You can have it printed on vinyl. Expensive, but well worth it. Just put that shit on a disk, take it over there and they’ll print it out on whatever size you want. Hope that helps.
so what is the SAV stick link? Is the guy still in bussiness?
madcatz ps2 pads = EASY shit too solder! im amazed at how easy it is for me to work with this pad.
well for your first question yes it will fix broken controller ports, but a 10 ohm resistor is too much. With 10 ohm, jump packs might not work properly and your vmu might become all screwy. If u can try and get a resistor as close to the original specs (the dc original uses a .37 ohm resistor, 1.0 ohm resistor worked fine for me and my P360 joystick).
for your second question ball sticks are the standard in Japan. They say its more comfortable, more precise, and has a lower throw (distance and time to register input)due to their being shorter.
Where can i find this arcade stick for cheap , anyone in NYC will sell it to me?Is it any good? Is that a JAPANESE arcade stick since its a ball? Can someoen help me make a custom arcade stick? damn i asked to many questions.
Thats the official DC arcade stick. You can get it on Ebay cheap if your lucky. It is a pretty good arcade stick, but I would rather just build my own joystick and put a ball top joystick in if I really wanted a Jap joystick.
