No you cannot.

wait…why can’t you fix the mic always in problem? i’ve chopped off the mic on many madcatz controllers and used this pic to kill the mic load.
@yamato
mic pinout. bridge a3/a2 together and then your wireless mic should work fine.

hi,i want to make a cusom arcade stick i have also a diagram of the wired xbox 360 pcb from another topic from CoverlessTech but there a no LT or RT button .can someone explane this how to connect them.

You’re a savior, i was already wiring a new pcb to repair my mistake for the customer, thank you very much.

Good shit man! I didn’t know that.

I want to make sure I am understanding that for future reference. By tying a2 to a3 on the PCB, it prevents the controller/360 from recognizing if there’s a 2.5mm plug jacked into it? I ask because I’m wondering if it’s more viable for me to physically move the mic jack to the edge of a case by extending its connections with wires, or if I should just go the “fuck it” route and plug a 2.5mm extension cable into the mic port and wire it to a jack.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I have a Hori Fight Stick for the PS3 and I would like to make it also usable with the 360. I have a 360 controller and a sodering iron, anything else I’d need? Also where do I even start? A little lost.

Hi guys,

Just wondering: I have a wired MS X360 that is not common ground. Is it worth the effort to hack it so that it is common ground? Or would I be better off buying a MC 4716 pad from EB?

Either way, would one be able to direct me to a solution to make the PCB common ground?

Thanks!

@MiniFoo

depends on how much work you want to do. for instance:

Option 1: use an extension cable.
results: mic will always register as on. will not be able to use a wireless mic if needed.
solution: don’t know. i’ve never tried it but i* THINK* you can wire a small switch inline with the extension cable to kill the mic this way.
Option 2: solder an extension cable or physically move the connection.
results: functions just like a regular mic port. plug in or out and you keep all original functionality.
I’d go with option 2. extending a mic port is pretty easy.

@everyone else
now as a side note: i finally found a nice picture of a retro arcade pcb with the mic connection intact (zombie cpt gallery). does anyone know what wire is what on an extension cable? i clipped a cable i have to wire it up and i just need to wire gnd/mic/speaker but my wires in the extension are bare copper/white/red. i know the long shaft on the connection is ground so ill just reconnect that and make sure with a volt tester - however, i don’t know what part of that cable is speaker/mic.

i came across this info.

but i still can’t figure what seems to be a very simple thing.

so i got a SE for 360 and i want to put in a ps1 board to make it dual system. do i just soder all the data and ground on the ps pcb and then solder it to the SE parts?

And the +5V from Xbox 360 PCB to +3.3V from PlayStation PCB.

it does not matter that the volts differ? and where can i find a pic that shows the location of the 5 volt on the madatz SE? or can i split the usb?

Use from the USB.

btw why do i need to connect the power? wouldn’t the board get get power when it is pligged into the adapter/ps? i am not question if i have to do it tho i just want to know why.

anyone know anything about this stick? Wii Battle Joystick http://www.taobaodao.com/goods-713.html about the pcb
I am thinking of buying this for the pcb not sure if its worth it

How about the logitech dual action gamepad for the pc? I took one apart but dont know where to start. Is it just straight up solder common and whatnot or do i have to worry about voltages? I only want it for the pc, dont care about anything else.

Depends on who you are asking. From a proper electronic design standpoint, it is quite foolish. From a “but will it work?” standpoint, apparently people are able to get away with it without smoking their controllers.

I’m sorry, it was probably asked before but i can’t find anything related to my question.
I want to neutralize analog joysticks on a Dual Shock Rev H late revision to make the board as slim as possible completely removing the pots and the plastic analog thingy
At first i was thinking that 10 kilo ohm resistor like on Xbox pad was the solution, setting a resistor between high and input, but it doesn’t work.
Any idea please ?

neutralized analog sticks is always the same.
