Neo-Geo MVS to Xbox cab project
xmod:
Soldering points are very similar to all controllers. But would suggest to stick with official xbox ones, S controller being the best, so good thing.
sorry for the pic, but the good ones are inside the cab already. previous pics where from a duke like you said and many failed madcatz! lol
L3 on the S controller
HaRuMaN:
Xbox S controllers are the best for hacking.
You can hack everything, including the triggers.
xmod:
ok, did some searching this morning about the triggers and found some info for us buddy.
--- Quote ---The problem in removing variable resistors is it leaves zero voltage. Because of this the PCB will usually consider them engaged. Triggers will be usually be viewed as held in, and analog sticks will be viewed as a diagonal.
To replace variable resistors with steady resistors that will make it so interfering signals are not sent, first remove the resistor by heating the three solder point and pulling it out. For variable resistors used by triggers, usually one steady resistor is needed between the voltage source and the middle signal point. This will send a low voltage (which usually is not zero) and make the PCB consider it unengaged. 10K resistors usually work fine, but around 5K is often preferred so it does not affect much current in the PCB.

So the 2 connection that I soldered together must be undone, and using the middle one, adding a resistor of 5-10k value should do the trick.
Im going to do one of mine and see how it goes, will have informative pics for you.
HaRuMaN:
Or you could just do like I do, and leave the trigger pots in place.

More complicated, but is it possible to hack the left thumbstick to the digital input needed for an arcade stick? Every padhack I've ever seen gets its traces from the d-pad. If the left thumbstick itself could be converted into an arcade stick, it would make possible playing games like Outrun 2006 and The Red Star on the arcade cab.
