I think that pad will work fine as a PS2-only stick, but it still has the analog buttons and is not SOny brand, so it won’t be good for converters, right?
i have a simple question. i hope people dont mind if its asked before because its a million post to this tread. im gonna build a stick with a p360 controller
why is a ps1 dual shock controller recomended over a ps1 regular controller for pad hacking ?
and in case i cant find my pals old dual shock controllers. is it possible to order a ps1 dualshock controller still ???
i bought a dualshock 1 off ebay for a penny (plus 6 bucks shipping) and it’s the A series which you can do solderless hack on so i guess that would make it easier and less time consuming to build a stick with
pad hacking mad catz controllers the one with the different colored wires…
is there any lag on them???
Okay, a Dreamcast controller question I don’t get.
The recommendation is to get a pad with 6 face buttons, in particular the Madcatz one. Looking at it, it’s got a Z and C button. Obviously, there’s no C and Z buttons on the regular controller, so are C and Z just relabeled L and R buttons?
Also, I see two different packaging types on the Madcatz dream pads. One with a white backing, and one with a yellow packaging. Is there one that’s preferable?
And on the same note, why is the Madcatz usable but the Quantum Pad not?
ok i have a question on the original dc pad, i followed the diagram on the first page where they need to go but when im finished with the final product, the buttons work but my arrows are acting weird for ex: when i i push left it jumps back to right, same for up it jumps back to down, been trying to figure out what i did wrong for a good hr and a half and now i just need some help or advice oh yeah btw its all one ground, could that be the problem??? thanks for the help
Hey.
A couple of requests if I may.
I need a wire map for the official ps3 pad. I have looked but cant find it.
Also need to know the best way to remove the analog sticks from the 360 PCB, and what resistors to use.
Please 
laurie47: Check out the SixAxis thread, haven’t tried removing the triggers from a 360 PCB myself but this thread over at Xbox Scene might help.
I cant see it, its so small.
perfect thankyou so much.
Damn.
I have used 10kohm resistors (2 on each pot) and I get random crazy inputs when any button is pressed.
Anyone got any tips 
can someone explain or post a working line on a solderless pcb hack? all those old links no worky 
I have the whole Spiffyshoes hack page saved, but I don’t know how to transfer it.
GOLDN-NZ: Check out this thread where ParryPerson uploaded the guide to Rapidshare so you can get it yourself. I made a pretty picture of the guide since I’m too lazy to upload the page right now.
I have a dreamcast fighting controller with the manufacturing # on the PCB of 32-71262-32. Does anyone have the points for this one or could they tell me how to find the hot spots and the grounds.
I’m in the middle of the Spiffy shoes DS1 hack and I’m having a problem with the wiring of the Sanwa JLF. I’ve tried to follow the 5-pin cable guide that was posted in the Sanwa faq thread but mine has the colors switched. This was done by trial and error.
- Orange = Right
- Green = ?
- Black= Ground
- Red = ?
- Yellow= ?
I’ve rewired and reattached the quick disconnects to the wires from the pad, But to no success. Since this is my first time doing this, Is there a clear, concise way for me to get this to work without outsourcing it to someone with more experience?
Do you have a multimeter?
It took a little doing but it worked. Thanks, Green. You just made my night.
Hey Laurie,
i saw your vid of the hacked 360 pcb…du you have any pictures or an instruction of how to solder the triggers??
I read that you have to solder resistors, could you be so nice and give any further informations in how you did this??
greetings,doc.
yes it is all on ground…I have had a similar problem
1 option you have to wire the up and down backwards when you go up on the joystick you are pushing down on the switch down switch…That is probably your problem
2nd option if your character is constantly jumping with out you in control you have probably got a odd point in you hot spots what I did was put the wire on the always open spot and the other side on the contact and wait for the character to do the action constantly then solder to that point
