Thanks for your help jdm714. If I understood correctly, one cable goes from the resistor to button signal and the other one goes to the PCB to signal ground, and I totally ignore slagcoin marked ground point for the triggers.
EDITED: because what I wrote didn’t made any sense and it took me a good night of sleep to realize it. Now it is fixed.
Wii classic controller analogue trigger hack fix
I am trying to convert the analog buttons L and R on a wii classic controller. I followed these guides

but no luck. there is no life for my new “digital” buttons. Does the *k Ohm measurement matter for the resistors used? in both guides they used a 10k Ohm resistors. I am using a 5k Ohm resistors 0.5 wattage. Is that what’s wrong? I thought i read on a 360 pcb topic, when inverting the triggers that it didn’t matter. That it could be 3k-10k resistors. was I mistaken or does that only apply to the 360? Where as for the wii and GC controller you need 10k ohm?
I wired my wii classic pad like so based on the above guides.

I have been searching this thread and found some references to wii CC trigger hack on pages 77 and 78 in which Jesster and toodles discuss the issue. toodles links to xbox scene and highlight post #47 and #50 from New Version of Wireless Controller Board, CG - Scenyx Entertainment Community
I have interpreted that discussion as so

Jesster posted a diagram of his solution.

I had to redraw it to understand what was linking and what wasn’t. I interpreted as so

which is correct method of those I have posted if any? Will the first method work if i simply use 10k ohm? If its the third solution, what type of diode do i need?
Edit: 4th and 5th solution?

can that be applied to the wii cc triggers as well? since that uses 5k ohm and i have a hex inverter on hand
follow up question, will a 5k ohm work to turn the madcatz 360 retro arcade stick triggers to digital as seen here?

Thanks for your patience and help.
I finally started on my padhack, now I have a problem already…So far I have only soldered the JLF harness onto the PCB (directions and ground) I just wanted to test it out to see if it was right, after plugging it in PS3, the LEDS keep on flashing and wont pick up the controller. Can anyone shed any light onto this please? It’s starting to really bugg me!
Make sure any individual signal’s solder/wire/conductive metal is not touching upon another individual signal. Also, make sure any individual signal is not touching any ground either.
I think I found the issue, I think I have to wire the ps button so I can hold that and let the ps3 pick it up. Does that make any sense? because I have looked at my wiring and soldering seems to be fine.
If you’re just testing to see if you’re soldering and connections will work by testing it on the PS3’s XMB or just any game, as long as you have the controller hooked up wired or wirelessly, you don’t have to to wire to the PS3 home button yet to necessarily test out your up/down/left/right directions.
request pic of a controller.
can anyone post a pic of the PCB of an Intec PS2 Mini Controller with points where to solder?
and also for hacking pads with analog sticks, do i need to keep the analog stick PCB as well or can I remove it?
Why don’t you post a picture of it yourself?
Then I see if I can point out.
Remove the Analogs will require for you to tie down with Resistors.
lol that would have been the quicker way eh?
Thanks in advance
Thank you!
wow there’s so many shared grounds in that one… You might need to use a lot of wire for this thing.
Has anyone tried padhacking a hori Gamecube pad? The one that looks like a snes pad. L and R are non analogue so it might be easier. I have one, and I’m contemplating taking it apart to make a stick for my wii. I also want to make a dreamcast stick. Should I just buy a stick to mod? or attempt to padhack a thirdparty dreamcast controller?
I can’t comment about the Hori Fight pad, but as far as the dreamcast is concerned, use a factory controller. They are pretty easy and you can secure the VMU holder to the pcb with zip ties. The triggers are the only issue, but not so bad really. Just hit the bottom right solder point with a ground and you’ll see they work. Surface mount wires to those points and hot glue them down.
Hey everyone. Think I destroyed my TE ps3 pcb while attempting a ps3 to xbox dual mod. Is there a way I can test the PS3 pcb with a multimeter to make sure its broken. Thanks
Does anyone know how to remove the friggin analog sticks on the Sixaxis? I don’t want to just tear them off and risk ruining the board.
I’m working on hacking a Madcatz Dreampad pad for the Dreamcast…model #7126 to be exact. I’m not done going through the entire thread yet, but so far I’ve only found pics of the earlier versions of this pcb. Anybody use one of these before?
The controller in question

Use a desoldering iron to get it off, but then you don’t need to use resistors.
Speaking of which, how do I trigger the analog directions to wire it into my joystick? In my 360 early model wireless stick it was simple, connect ground to high and low, but not with the sixaxis. Any ideas?
i need help to know if instead of the psx wire change to a usb connection with out the converter
thanks 
i wanna know if u can change your ps1 port for usb port
