Xbox One PadHack Thread - Calling the goons "Toodles, Gummowned, Phreak and You" Do it for the Kids

So whenever the usb cable is plugged into the Xbox one pad, whatever button is soldered from the fightpad to the xbone seems to constantly being pressed(shorted) . Not sure what is going on here.
Have tried with sfxt fightpad and wwe brawl allstars, same result.

That is strange. On the sfxt pad are you sure that is a gnd point? I dont have my pad in front of me but I would solder to the back of where the gnd wire goes into the pad. Close up shows B4 or D4 I am not sure the letter but I think that is the gnd there. Just check to make sure the wire on the other side is black.

Other than that I could not tell you what is wrong unless the button is bridged on the sfxt/brawl pad.

Yeah that is ground point, I also tried it to the point you mentioned. Button is not bridged, used multimeter to check it. The USB wire creates a ground leading back to the console?

Hey guys, working on my second xbone stick, First went without a hitch. But this fuckerā€¦I completely finished all the soldering on the board and put it in and everything worked great but somehow a the RT wire got snagged and ripped off the top foot where you can connect a 100 ohm resistor (according to MOE30W) and now the controller doesnā€™t work if you press pause and go back into game, only Guide/Pause/Back work. now itā€™s constantly at a down state I think. is there anything you can think of to fix this or am I screwed and have to get another pad? I attached a pic from when I had it connected fineā€¦and one where it ripped shortly after.

Hereā€™s a pic of my first successful xbone mod in an SE stick.

Custom Art I made for it.

Heres a pic of my second one where I tried to get the triggers working. With 100ohm mod (Before it Cracked offā€¦)

After it cracked off and me trying to solder a new point onā€¦(smh)

Hmmm I wonder if there is something screwy going on with the chip. Like if there are some traces that somehow overlap. I guess one thing to try would be to connect the powers. Just make sure you dont ever plug them in at the same time.

I honestly cant see why you would need to do this because it is not really a dual mod and you only need the contacts to short but I guess it is worth a try.

Also one last thing. Thinking about taking the plunge on one of these (knockoff?) controllers for my next xbone stick. Maybe one of you can try one first and let us know if its cool to use for this. They are SUPER cheap so that scares me. But if it works Iā€™d stock up :wink:

Found the solution, have to cut the signal trace on the fightpad that runs to the chip on the fightpad. Somehow the trace that runs back to the main chip on fightpad is interfering with button press when there is no power to fight pad.

Yo I am in there, that is what my last post was suggesting hahaha. Glad it was figured out.

One last thing though. Are you going to leave the wire soldered to the signal right at the spot of the button on the Sfxt/brawl pad? if so just try one button first and close it up with the meshing and see if it feels too weird.

I am getting my brother to do the soldering to the pads. He is very good at keeping it flush. Thanks for all the help, been on this for like 6 hours now lol.

ermā€¦ if youā€™re trying to dual mod the pads together then you will also need to connect the VCC from each pcb as well as a GND point. Cutting the signal trace on the Fightpad will just mean that it wonā€™t work on 360.

He wasnā€™t trying to dual mod. It is a project box type mod. He just wants to use the sfct pad on xbone

Uhg wish I saw the post in time before he cut the traces. You need to of had the vcc wired up together. Otherwise if the fightpad has no power it wont have its signals in a high state, leaving them just floating.

Thatā€™s why its one of the golden rules to power all boards. You need all boards powered so all the button signals will be put in a high state. Donā€™t power a board an its signals wont be held high which will interfere with the signals of the other board and can cause the signal to be held low causing the button press.

Gummo can you help me out on this one ?

You can do a 2 usb cable setup. Just wire up all the button signals between the boards together, wire up ground together, and wire up Vcc together. Have the two usb cables wired to their own boards. Just donā€™t plug both cables in at the same time.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Gummo, Any chance I could get some guidance on this please?
At first I thought it was the resistors cause it was only happening with the triggers but last night I took it to a local tourney and one of the shoulder buttons stayed on, A button stayed on till I pressed it then it went off and now remora acts weird (sometimes itā€™ll be in screensaver mode during play, sometimes itā€™ll activiate on button press as normal but in all cases the lit LB, RT and LT stay lit). Through all this though, the button inputs donā€™t seem to be having any issues.

One other odd thing that happened last night, I had taken my stick and a regular pad with me. Plugged both into someone elseā€™s XBone via usb cable, the unmodded mad synced up fine but my stick would just keep flashing like it was looking for my console. It seemed odd cause I wouldā€™ve assumed when weird it would sync to whatever it gets plugged into (only difference with the pad was it also had batteries in it). I ended up having to use my console and the stick connected fine.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

FYI heres the setup:
stock hori 360 PCB connected to Cerberus via solder points
Cerberus connected to Remora via the madcatz molex cables while ground and VCC are connected to the screw terminals on remora
UISB cable to console comes out of cerberus (for PS3/360/PC play)
XBone pad has buttons connected to remora solder points and home is soldered to the home point on the hori 360 PCB.
XBone VCC and ground also connected to remora via the same screw terminals as cerberus
2nd USB cable from xbone goes to console (for xbone play)

Just got me an extra xbox one controller, and was reading that some of the diagram images were labeled wrong, would it be possible for someone to have updated picā€™s and labels of the solder points ? Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving Everyone :slight_smile:

looks like a trace might have gotten ripped off by the a button

Do xbox one pads work on pc? Wont have an xbox until next and want to try get the stick sorted before I get it.

Will remember this for next time if needed, lol. We actually severed every trace on the fightpad and is now working wonderfully wired to the xbox one controller.
