*The "padhacking" thread*

ugh… Everything work perfect with 3S. ST and CvS2 have no kicks…

Any thoughts?

You probably fucked up one of the triggers, and AE and CvS2 probably have that trigger set to all kicked. Since they think the trigger is held, all of the kicks are held. Either unassign the triggers or fix your busted trigger. If the potentiometer is still on on the pcb, turn it so it wont show as pulled. If you removed the potentiometer and didn’t tie it with a resister, you have to now. If you remove the pot and tied it with a resistor, you tied it to the wrong line.

Edit: Oh, its for PSX; If it uses pots, the answer above is valid. No matter how its done, one of the buttons on your pad is always registering as pressed; you need to find it and fix it, and that’s about all the help anyone can give without better pictures.

You were dead on, thanks for the help.

Quick question.
Would 10kohm resistors work on a ps3 six axis?
The read around 7.4 - 8

Nice, this helped me a lot with my stick that I’m making

Hello, I am new here, I am attempting to create my own arcade controller. I am using a PS1 Duel Shock A (early version). I made a feeble attempt at soldering the PCB last night. I hooked up all my buttons and stick, connected it my computer to check and see if everything was mapped correctly and it seems my “up” is firing constantly. it actually seems like its being held down. Now I am new to all of this and I don’t quite understand electronics, I took this on in an effort to learn a little bit while creating something fun. Could anyone help me figure out why its doing this, I can post pictures if you need them.

It sounds like some solder is bridging your “up” and a ground. Check your solder work

Thanks, I will check it out tonight when I get home. It was my first time soldering to a board (I’ve done some plumbing before, and wire to wire solder), so it wouldn’t surprise me if I screwed it up.

edit: I’m not sure what exactly I did, but I know I did something wrong. I screwed up the PCB now and I need to find a new. Work on my controller has been put on hold…damn.

Post a picture of your solder work/PCB. Maybe one of us can spot the problem.

I probably will with my next one, I really did screw it up. In my process of moving from where I was soldering in the garage, to my work area inside I some how broke one of my solder points off and with it came a strand of the metal that it runs through. I have another pcb at my mothers house in storage so I am going to go pick that up this weekend and start over. Thanks for your help. I’ll post my results this weekend.

will a non dualshock ps controller work with a ps2?

can someone show me how to hack a sony ds2 a series (middle version)?

I successfully soldered my pcb. Now I am waiting on my hole saw. Tomorrow I build my box and hopefully I will be up and running by the end of the week. I’ll post pictures when I am finished over in the custom joystick thread.

What is a good smaller sized dream cast controller to use for pad hacking? preferably one that doesn’t require resistors.

so i stupidly tore off the analog sticks from my duel shock (original h series) and now if the analog is on the stick goes crazy and inputs signals from all sides causing my character to constantly jump.

This isn’t a problem on most games as i have a kill button for the analog, but on SF aniversary collection it won’t let me turn off the analog. Is there anyway i can turn off the analog completely or stop it from wigging out due to lack of a signal from the sticks?

toodles said something about a resistor, but i can’t seem to figure out where i’d put one to stop the analog from going nuts

bump

i found the picture of the pcb Here

can someone please explain whats up?

Need help

This was posted over a year ago, but I didn’t find an answer to it. I’m currently dealing with the EXACT same problem he did. The PCB on a stick someone built for me was acting crazy (not registering inputs or getting something completely different than what I pressed… like HP for 4 different buttons) so I decided to try and rewire the buttons to a new PCB.

This was my first attempt at soldering/rewiring onto a new PCB so I’m very new to this… and boy does it look ugly.:lol:
Anyway, I was testng it on the PS2 SF3: 3S and while I got all of the attack buttons and directions working fine, when I start messing with the Start and Select button the game will say ‘Please reconnect the controller’ and I can’t ‘unpause’ or anything. Plus if I try to press Start at the Title screen it keeps flickering as if its doing a ‘soft reset’ over and over again (I used another controller to actually get into the game and test the other controls). I tried changing around the Start/Select wires to some other solder points on the PCB and the only difference I got was that it would automatically do a soft reset and the screen would remain black until I unplugged the stick… then the Title screen shows up.

I tried this with two different 3rd party PS2 controllers (a Titan and a Psyclone) and got the same results. Has any one else had this kind of problem and found a solution or can explain why this is happening so that I may be able to fix it?

are your ground wires setup correctly?

is it a common ground pad? ps2 ds has 2 or 3

Yeah, I believe both pads had common grounds as the buttons were daisy chained by the person before me so I just soldered the ground wire(s) to those points on the L and R triggers.
