Which wires go to which spokes in a PSX controller?
« on: January 15, 2003, 05:25:17 pm »
Hey I am messing with a little thing I am trying to do with my PSX hacked controller. I saw that the input of the controller has 7 spokes on it and there are 7 wires. Therefore each wire leads to each spoke. I was wondering if there was a way that you could tell which wire went to which spoke. If so my method of hacking numerous controllers with one controller and multiple adapters should work. Please reply. Thanx.

-See Ya!!!

  Ok, I think I know what you're looking for, a diagram of a pinout of the controller port.  If you think this will allow you to hack a controller, you gotta solder the controllers directly on the pcb, *just incase you didn't get that* and if you want to make an adapter, one of the pages I've found was in russian, but it has the diagram:

and for some kind of indian:

  hope those help, the second one is the most useful IMO, but I can't read neither one of them, I just like pictures.

Thanx for the diagrams guys. Yeah I knew that I had to solder to the PCB. I am at school and the sites are blocked. Have to go home and check it out. Thanx.
