As the title of the thread says, does anyone know where to buy any presoldered xbox 360 wired joypads in the UK and has anyone hacked a madcatz street fighter pad, as I am having a lot of problems soldering the 360 pcb.
I have hacked the MadCatz Fightpad PCB. The only button that is a gotcha (to me) is the guide button. Here is a link to the thread with pictures of the hack.
The problem is he’s in the UK, so Modchipman could be a problem.
I think this post might be better in the Trade Outlet, if you titled it, WTB: pre0soldered 360 pad in UK ’ or something like that you should get a reply.
Code Man65, you are a brave man, I haven’t had the guts to even open the pad up to check what it looks like inside, then again for the cost, of the pad, I would much rather attempt it on a official pad, they are less than half price of the Madcatz pad.
Shipping isn’t too bad from here to the UK via USPS.
I sent you a pm.
We ship to the UK… its like $20 for 1-3 day international fedex priority… pretty damn fast, insured, and definitely worth it if you’re buying something $75+
I would like to thank everyone for their feedback and help.
Just a quick question, can you solder onto the black parts of the pcb as when i did solder onto the pad origianlly I sandpaperd (smooth sand paper) off the black parts, so that the connections were shinny. Is this where I went wrong?
No, you want to solder onto the shiny copper underneath the black pads.
Solder won’t really stick on the black stuff.
That is why would have to scrape off.
Scrape off to expose good sticking area for solder.
So you did right.
