Questions about making controller adapter modules and generic-mod controllers..

Pages: << < (3/3)

o-o:

By "generic" I mean (modding) controllers to be like that arcade stick in the picture: (removing the encoder/cable and) just connecting a (non- system specific) "generic"/25pin cable to the button contacts.  So the controller can then be used/mixed-and-matched with any module..  [is there a better word for that?]


I thought this was the right forum for these questions,
maybe GameSX forum? (though that forum seems kindof small / not as frequented)

>is this what you are trying to get then?

Yes, thats whats shown in the pic I posted also

Instead of a "control panel" (which has a "generic"/25pin connector out..)
I will want to be using some stand-alone custom arcade sticks and some console control pads modded the same way: modded to have "generic"25pin cables [instead of their consoles' regular cables], to connect to those modules same as a "control panel" would

I thought this was much more commonly done (here)..
someone who has done this before (as in the picture) would know exactly what Im talking about, I thought

Im mainly trying to find out the specific/optional materials involved




this question is a little different:

How can analog direction pad(signal) be converted to (send) digital..?
And would it be simple to add 'sensitivity' control? (using a dual-head potentiometer perhaps??)

On these forums Ive heard it mentioned that analog thumbsticks (signal) can be converted/made to send as digital (emulate a digital direction pad)..
Im looking for the info about that.. (how complex/simple is that?)

Sounds like product/market research to me.
