*The "padhacking" thread*

[Numbski]

Thanks!

I’m trying to get them off of there so I can flatten the thing is all. 2 PCB’s in a single case tends to become a tight fit.

I’m lost - what’s up the the red and black wire running from RC? He has “set triggers to neutral” typed over it, but that doesn’t do them all, does it?

AFAIK, you can “set the triggers to neutral” by soldering on a resistor to the wiper and 5v line. Kinda like the pic Kaytrim posted except alls you need is one, not sure why he has two on there. At least all the ones that I have done, I just use one resistor and it’s been fine.

For anyone that has done a sixaxis hack, i need some help. I soldered all the wires in their respective points on the sixaxis pcb. However there must be a short somewhere that i can’t find because everything works except for right. When i connect right and ground, i get down. Anyone have any ideas?

does anyone know how to tell in store if an xbox 360 wireless is common ground?

[albert_c]

i bought and hacked 2 new madcatz controllers from gamestop for the Xbox360. They unforunately had multiple grounds. One of the links here said they had 1 ground only. Sux, oh well.

Those wires are just jumpers installed at the manufacturer. Just leave them alone.

I use the two resistors on the triggers and sticks as that is how Toodles told me to lock them down to nutral. IIRC you measure the resistance between the two outer connections of the pot. Divide this number by two. This will give you an approximation of the resistor value you should use.

Here’s my situation.

I have a wired 360 padhacked stick.(awesome)
I want to play TvC on Wii with a stick.

I was thinking about converting the 360 stick into a dual (360/GC) PCB, but…

I also have a PS2 to gamecube adapter.
Should i hack a PS2 PCB and use the GC adapter so i have a 360/PS2/GC stick?

will that work?

or should i just hack a CG pad for the dual?

thanks a bunch
toid

If the 360 is common ground, then this is simple - get a PS1/PS2 pcb that is also common ground. Join the grounds and power of the two pads. Done.

today i got a madcatz live arcade pad (the square one with an analog stick as the “joystick”) for $7.

it didnt take much effort to throw it into my sanwa modded t5 stick (yay no more ex2), and as far as i can tell theres nothing wrong with it. its common ground and theres even a 5V thing.

is there a reason people are using the other controllers for hacking, or is it just an availability thing?

anyone has sucessfully hack the Wii classic controller? im trying to figure out if this is worth hacking and then connecting the wiimote to it.

Please tell me where you found it for $7. I can’t find them anywhere in stores and they’re going for like $30-40+ on eBay I had to settle on a $23 MadCatz pad that I’m not even sure is common ground yet, as I had to order it on eBay.

(so yes it’s an availability issue)

i found it at fry’s electronics

I was wondering the same thing. I may just pick one up and give it a try.

i’ve been searching up and down the padhacking thread (maybe i’m using the wrong search terms), but what i’m looking for is what resistors values and where to solder them too on the new xbox360 wireless to neutralize the analog pots and triggers. i know the info is here somewhere because i’ve seen it before a long time ago.

anybody got a link to this specific info or anything that can be of use?

thanks people. (continues to search the boards )

[DominoLogic]

its like a 10k or something resistor

im not using the triggers as buttons so i just left the pots on. nothing bad has happened so far. just letting you know

[infoseeker]

you can use 10k ohm. I think I remember something about able to use 4.7k ohm, but not too sure on that. Sure on the 10k though

Hey, i’m also very interested in this. Is there another alternative to making a stick that works on the Wii?

[pixeldotz]

10k ohm for both triggers and analog pots then?

where do i solder the resistors?

[pixeldotz]

i think i might’ve found the info. good ole rdc.

The reason LT3/RT3 is there and marked is ONLY for those making an Arcade stick or wishing to remove the Triggers from the board for whatever reason. If the Trigger IS removed a 10k Resistor MUST be installed from LT1 to LT3 or RT1 to RT3. Any common variety 10k 1/4w will do just fine. This is to keep the controller “thinking” that a Trigger is installed and “off”, not pulled. Removing it without installing the 10k Resistor will cause it to act up in some cases, the new button either will not work or will not return to the “off” posistion when released. Pressing the new button you’re installing between 1 and 2 will duplicate the “on”, pulled effect of the Trigger.

i hope this applies to the analog sticks too. well, i’m off to buy some resistors
