D-Pad not working on my PSX pad hack
« on: December 21, 2004, 10:39:28 pm »
I'm hacking an origninal Playstation pad and I have all of the buttons working (by "buttons" I mean circle, square, triangle, etc.), but for some reason none of the directional channels will work.  The soldering job looks fine, so I can't figure out what is wrong.  Is this a common problem?

May be a common ground problem (sorry for the pun).   You say this is an original PSX pad, one that should have a common ground.  Check your single ground connection with the ground traces running to each directional button to make sure this assumption is true (both grounds should match).  If not, then you have multiple grounds (which I've never seen on an original PSX pad...but then again I haven't opened the latest PSOne pads to see.
