Third party PS4 padhack options

Tech Talk
201

I’ve noticed that a lot of the times diodes are needed when dual modding with a 3rd party Xbox one pad.

It happened with the hori

And it happened again with the rock candy

The issue is at least for my instance every time is that once the triggers are wired up. That the buttons remain active on 360 mode. Its a little odd but I have a ton of diodes for this.

I Aldo used a mini the other day and all 4 (lb,Lt,rt,rb) buttons were active so I tested out the stick on 360 mode one button at a time with diodes. Maybe this issue is specific to certain models of sticks? I’m not sure just wanted to share that info.

Made it cleaner this time around :slight_smile:

203

consider some heat shrink tubing to dress up the diodes, wires and solder joints some more.

Bootleg PS4 controller from China.

I want one. So curious about its insides and outs. Looks so weird.

206

Tried to order some like this from Alibaba, but the manufacturer’s communication sucks. I was thinking of bulk ordering some and selling them from my site.

207

I’m extremely curious on the PCB. I had a bootleg PS3 controller years ago and it had via pad holes for every input, it was the easiest soldering job ever.

I’m also wondering if it works on the PS3 too?

They also have them in green, purple, and blue.

Well that sucks. I wonder if there’s a way around that by shorting it or something.

210

Ok now I don’t want anymore.

No.

211

its a ps360+ with buttons

212

That’s what it sounds like, I ordered one to mess with.

213

Definitely let us know what’s inside. I’m curious if it’s truly a PS360+ board in there and they’re reselling that with their own knockoff case, or if it’s some other board or a potential PS360+ bootleg.

214

I don’t think it’s an actual PS360+ with buttons. @Vicko said that to make a comparison with something that’s already out there. :smirk:

Hi,

Is there any way to mod a PS4 controller so that the L1 button preforms the same function as the down dpad button?
basically, i want both buttons to do the same thing-- be a down button
could i do this by rewiring my controller?

216

Theoretically yes.
In practice, it really, really,really hard to do.

What you are looking to do is cut traces on the circuit board inside your PS4 game pad, and rerouting the L1 button with some very thin wire, like 30 or even 32 gauge.

Some game pads will be easier to mod than others.

217

It’s even more difficult than that because l1 is active high.

218

In the last ps4 update, Sony added a feature in the settings menu that actually allows you to remap your buttons. So you can make L1 be registered as down or whatever button you want. Only thing is I don’t think 2 buttons can be mapped to the same action.

I placed an order through Alibaba from a factory, which claims their controller won’t time out after 8 minutes, last week just got it in today.(still waiting on dhgate order)

just have to test it out, and if it works attempt a hack.

@Gummo I just got two mkx ps4 pads. I want to put them in my 360 Madcatz V.S. sticks and be able to use the home button on the turbo panel.
I found this:


and was wondering if it would be fairly easy to do the same thing with the PDP MKX PS3/4 pad.
Thanks.
