it looks like you're spot on for the direction buttons and from my experience hacking controls [pc , dreamcast , psx , ms pac] all the grounds have been connected. |

It's hard to tell about the directions since the front and back aren't perfect overlays. Could you solder a jumper wire and tap the 4 suspected contacts while you have it turned on? That way you won't spend all your time and found out that it was wrong. |

Common Ground - Just use a Multimeter on the Ohms setting and touch the two points - if it zeros, they're common. Old school gamepad hacking trick - You can carefully score (using a knife or preferably a Dremel) between the contact points - pink lines on attachment. This give you a large area on either side of the score line to solder to, or at least allows you to be sloppier with your soldering. |
