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

[Vicko]

I’m not trying to ambush the thread, but if any modders need pads we were going to do a group buy, min 25 pads, max, however many you want. Contact me for pricing. The pads we are purchasing were tested out by Phreak.

I replied to your PM.

Hey guys, so I started on this project a couple of days ago. Right now I’m connecting the xbone pcb to a paewang already previously installed on a stick but using separate usbs for each since I’m not using a switch and am not that much of an expert. Anyway I tested the xbone pcb before connecting to the paewang and the home light turned on fine (obviously meaning it turned on), after soldering every point however and connecting the the paewang it won’t turn on at all. I desoldered it from the paewang and tested it again but still have the same problem. I’ll be posting pics up in a moment but just wanted to post first to see if anyone knew offhand what that could be

btw yes I know I’m using crap radioshack wire but I’m impatient, any help is much appreciated

before you post the pics:

1. did you connect power and ground between the 2 sticks
2. do you have a multimeter available to test connections
3. does the paewang work on it’s own?

[BrandonM]

Hey Vicko,

1. yes
2. yes I do
3. yes it does tested before and after

The xbone PCB has been disconnected from the paewang now and still have the same issue where it doesn’t light up(turn on) when connected directly through USB

I think you used an old pic for your solder points. You soldered directly onto a leg for the triggers. Also, looks like you tore off a solder point for one of the data lines. I had this happen to me and it ended up wrecking the pad. If you hold your thumb over that point while it’s plugged in you should see the pad light up. If that’s not the case, what happens when you press home while the pad is plugged in?

For both of my mods, I soldered onto the legs of the caps as well. I can’t recall which legs, but I did continuity testing to match the proper ones to the recommended solder points.

Just want to put out into the universe a thanks to all of those who provided the information to do this mod. In turn, soon I’ll be posting a walk-through of how to add XB1 1/8" stereo headphone support with audio controls to your stick using the Stereo Headset Adapter. The camera on my phone is pretty crappy but I think I’ve got good enough stuff to be helpful. Here’s the final product.

why cant you use a raspberry pi to emulate the buttons? so you dont have to use different boards for different consoles?

Because you also have to reverse engineer the security lock out.

[Omnigear]

ok the pcb have a security lock out before sending a signal or the signal going from the pcb to the console is locked? I would assume that by compiling a software to send the proper signal to the console for each button press. >_<

I am gonna modify my 360 TE stick next week (no experience in soldering so my brother will do it for me). Just so I get this right, since I am leaving my 360 board in there, does that mean that I just add in my Xbox One pad in there wired similarly to the 360 board I guess, so that depending on which cable is plugged into the console, either the 360 or Xbox One board will be up and running, right? Because both are wired to the same buttons?

Also, would this work?: monoprice.com/Product?c_id=103&cp_id=10314&cs_id=1031403&p_id=8179&seq=1&format=2

I’d like to put that on the case so that I could remove the cable when need be, just don’t know if someone’s used it before or if there is something better?

Start over and read the entire thread, it’s too late in the game to be playing catch up.

No idea,

Look cryptography is a whole field onto itself, one thats been around for thousands of years and computer cryptography adds a whole new dynamic on the whole thing as you not just need to copy the digital handshake (and yes that the real term) you also have to copy the whole protocol

If madkatz can do it, the posibilities are endless =p

Because they pay ms for the licensing?

lol you think MCZ has a hacked board in their sticks?

[oldschool82]

I doubt Madcatz is doing that type of work. They are almost certainly licensed to make XB1 hardware. Pretty obvious based on this link. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Killer-Instinct-Arcade-FightStick-Tournament-Ed.-2-for-Xbox-One/productID.295239500 If you want do your own mod, following the instructions and knowledge in this thread is FANTASTIC if you’ve got the skills and tools to execute it properly. And when I say properly, I mean DO NOT SKIMP ON TOOLS, MATERIALS, OR PATIENCE!!! I did both of my sticks and the only problem I had was a poor solder point (I got hasty and over confident) on a connector I included. But due to careful planning, I easily diagnosed the problem and fixed it in very short time.

[emudojo]

any advice on how to add an xbox ONE PCB to an existing padghacked stick, that already has an IMP?, someone told me to add another imp but how so?

[Vicko]

I drew a diagram a few pages back. Honestly use a crossbone and make the Imp SYS 2.
