Alternative to soldering Happ buttons/sticks to PSX controllers?

JonnyBoy,


X-Arcade encoders are out of the question because I plan on using 4 PSX pads for my 4-player control panel.

Everyone else, thanks for the advice!

Oh, does anyone know of a tutorial for properly soldering arcade joysticks/buttons to a dual shock controller? I plan on using these pads on console systems/games that require analog controls.


eastbayarb:

Thanx for all the help guys!

I wired up a PSX pad to my CP and Happ buttons and sticks and though it took about a couple of hours, it works GREAT!.

EwJ:

great!

if you're still looking for soldering tutorial and playstion controller hack info
or for others looking this up in the future,
there's some info right here:

http://arcadecontrols.com
on the left hand side under  'tech  & tips'
then under 'step-by-step guides' and 'tutorials',

Now I am actually thinking of doing some dual shock psx pads but no tutorial I know of exists...

also, does anyone know if P360 joysticks will work with a PSX pad?

What's the best way to clean the tip? Mine is all fugly from years of use. I used to use a wet paper towel or sponge while it was hot, but it no longer comes clean. I probably need to replace the tip anyway.
