Where to find +5 volts on Mad catz Dreamcast pad?
« on: March 01, 2003, 05:19:58 pm »
Anyone know where it is because I am installing a P360 joystick?  Thanks in advance.

From heresay: The +5V in the pad is not enough to power the P360s properly, you need to get another +5V power source. (A 5 volt power adapter from Radio Shack should work)

I don't think its been confirmed yet.  Also, I foresee possible problems using an external power source (since you will then be combining the grounds of the DC and external source).
