Thanx for the fast reply UltraDavid now i can start building my custom stick, without worries.
How did you do the ground wiring? I looked at the pics, and did you just take for the stick the 5th ground wire to the left ground on the pcb and daisychain the buttons to the right ground?
Sambao used the same pcb, if he has the same problem as you then probably something with the pcb itself, if not then maybe something specific in your stick.
I just used the left ground wiring to daisy chain to the rest of it. the right side i used for the r1 and r2 buttons. i didnāt wire the l1 and l2 because itās not needed and i thought it best to leave the ground by itself on that side. i think the main thing was that the pad was really really old.
my 2nd pcb hack works well, i think itās an H pad. i did the same setup, ground on the left side, r1 and r2 wired on the right.
Ah ok, I get it now. Thanks man.
I got two of the same pcbās lying around, Iāll give it a try.
hi,
i hacked a 360 pad few days ago. but i donāt know if the joints will survive the installation in the case. i thought applying a drop of hot glue to each joint could work. is that ok? or would this somehow damage the pcb? any suggestions?
thanx in advance
nah should be fine, i alway put hot glue when im done soldering just to make sure it stays in there, its a good habit to get in to
Ok, I searched and I canāt find that hack that Mr Wiz did on a PS3 controllerā¦ anyone have a link to that? did he ever post how to do it?
Edit
Nevermind, I found it, no more info on that.
sounds like a good idea, where do i get this hot glue from and what equipment is used to make it āmeltā?
hot glue comes in sticks, and is used by hot glue gun
available in just about any store including dollar stores. Check the crafts section of any walmart or target.
With that said, gluing on the solder point can make rework very messy. you maywant to lay the wires down after they are soldered next to the pcb and glue the wires; this will have the glue take any stress when the wires are moved, and leave the solder points available for rework if needed.
hm sounds like a good idea. i will try that
i have a PSOne controller it has a H in the back and it has no analog sticks i want to know if this can be hacked
sorry for the blurry pics
the dpad

the buttons

the R2 and R1 buttons (the L1 and L2 are the same)
thatās the pad i hacked.
what you want to do is temp connect the ground on the left and test all the connections before you actually solder it. or if youāre certain which are the solder points, then go for it.
Does anyone have pics or wiring diagrams of the soldering points for the ps2 h series? Also is it posible to pad hack any of the other ps2 controllers? I know the h series is recomended cuz its easier to hack.
Iām looking into hacking some PS2 pads for a series of sticks, and Iāve got a few questions about the hardware. First off, the analog sticks vs the d-pad - I want to come up with a good setup to switch those to the same joystick, so all games work properly. Am I going to be able to pull that off, or is there something Iāve overlooked?
this is my firsr pad hack i just need to know where to solder at
thanks
what kind of wire and solder iron do i need?
youād want really thin and flexible wires, i botched the dreamcast nyko dreammaster pad but i stripped the wires from it and it works great. at least something was salvageable from it.
use it lower heat setting for your soldering iron. as for soldering, i canāt really give advice as itās something you get better as you do it more.
are sixaxis or x360 wireless pads the same as wired for solder points?
I donāt care about digital-input games, only fightersā¦ =)
Shagstick final edition is in the worksā¦
