coupla dreamcast questions
Dave_K.:
I don't think there is a problem hacking the original sega pads (if you solder to the button contacts), but the Nyko's is definatly something to avoid, good advice abrannan. I think the madcatz are the easiest because there are small points (away from the button contacts) you could solder too from the back of the controller (through a hole in the middle of the contact)...makes for a good strong connection. But I believe the original sega ones are fine if you solder to the button contact.

I only warn because the last Toys-r-us I was in had only these two types of controllers there.

I hacked the original DC ones and encountered no problems. I don't think it is that bad.
abrannan:
Then I stand corrected. I thought there was an issue with the L/R triggers and the analog/digital situation. Personally I've found the Quantum fighter pad the easiest to hack. There are four boards inside that connect with ribbon cable. The ribbon cables map directly to contact points for teh buttons, so you can connect directly to the wires without soldering on the pad itself.
