ok I think I have a series H pad but I can’t be sure where does it say which series it is or how can you tell.
also theres copper points like connected to each of the black things thats already bare where you guys said to scrape off, can I just solder to those or do we have to scrape off the black stuff for some reason.
thanks for your help
by the way sorry if somebody already answered these questions but I didn’t have the time to look through 50 pages of posts
sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, i can’t find it.
anyone figure out how to get the triggers working on the madcatz 360 mini joystick pcb?
seriously? nobody knows?
got as problem. I’ve hacked a PS1 DS controller and am using that with a pelican adapter for use with a PS3.
From what I can tell the menus within the PS3 work fine. However once I start up a game (I’ve only tried Street Fighter Alpha), the controller wouldn’t respond.
I plugged it into a PS1 and everything worked (except for square but thats another issue, I think I cut a trace when scraping off black non conductive material over the button so I could solder onto it).
I’ve soldered wires to the following
Up
Down
Left
Right
Square (not working)
Triangle
R1
X
Circle
R2
Analog Ground (for use as common ground)
Start
Select
Prior to hacking I plugged the DS1 controller in and did nothing with the analog button and it seemed to function fine. When pressing the analog button it had the same function (ingame) to pressing the PS button.
Any ideas?
edit, rewired the square button and got that to work.
Now for Ps3 support, it seems spotty at best. I tried Tekken 5 and it was working, then I pressed the PS button to quit and then it wouldn’t accept any more commands from the stick. restarted the PS3 and then tried MK2, seemed to work. finally put in a PS1 game and that seemed to work too.

Yes yes, here’s a crappy picture I made. The soldering looks like it was made by a five year old and the text is in swedish, but it should give you a picture of how it should be.
awesome, thanks a lot man
Hello, after searching through this thread, I have apparently failed to find an explanation or picture of where to solder to a PS2 DS2 PCB. This is a picture of the PCB that I’m attempting to use:

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

A little past half way down the page are links to over 30 controller PCBs and the solder pointsd on them, and among them are 6 of the PS2 DS controllers.
Thank you very much! This resource will certainly help me in the future. However, I have one last question regarding the PS2 DS A (the controller which I am using). Do I just merely solder the wires to the pins on the controller, or am I supposed to modify the connections for the wire to the PCB in some fashion?
I think that depends. If you can solder to the pins then go for it, otherwise you might also be able to do the solderless hack which should be linked towards the beginning of the thread.
Just a quick question. I’ve once read that it’s possible to use a simple 2.5 mm audio jack extension cable (male/female) to connect the slot from the X360 pad pcb to the communicator headset jack.
Can anyone please confirm it works like this? And if it is, is a stereo cable enough or does it have to support a third line (mic?).
It’d save me a lot of time when making X360 padhacks.
360 headset is mono, so your stereo connection gives you the mic line. if you use an extension however, the system will always think there is a mic attached even if there isn’t. you have to interrupt the connection at the pcb and install a switch to do it properly
Thanks, godspu. :china:
anyone find a CG ps3 wireless pcb yet?
that’s what i thought but it’s not working on the dual system mod. the hrap3 loses the R2 and L2 when hook up the resistor there.
Hey guys, can someone verify that this is a correct schematic of a sixaxis? I’m unsure about the resistors.
reference: slagcoin
//edit
ok, somethings messed up there. why are both resistors written in the same color in the slagcoin graphic?
Since it seems the Madcatz 360 pad is being phased out, does anyone know if the current Gamestop controller with the rounded curves has the same common ground PCB?
This guy here: http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=43229
dam*it!
so much for modding a sixaxis 
Hey fellas. Doin my first 360 mod. Question about this madcatz controller: http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_diagrams/360_diagram3.jpg (Thanks Slag). I noticed there’s one motor still attached in that pic.
Can I chop off em all off this particular controller? Shouldn’t be problem right?
