I believe the problem is either:
1. the x-arcade "common ground" is actually not the ground but is high, and the individual leads are low.
2. the x-arcade's direction voltage is not 5V (not very likely, but possible)

Ah... #1 makes sense (btw have you contacted x-arcade for some insight from them/suggestions on the p360?)
#2 confuses me, as it shouldn't matter what x-arcade's voltage is as long as you are supplying a solid 5V to power the p360's...
I'll go read that thread you linked to now...

EDIT:
NEVER mind.. .disregard all my messages in this thread... That thread u linked to (which I did read ages ago) clears it up. I was wrong and sounds like you are defintely on the right track.
doh!

Before, when I was going to try to connect the Perfect 360 to the X-Arcade PCB, I had asked them for support and received official word from them that their techs (located in Japan) had tried to do that in the past and concluded that there was no way to connect the Perfect 360s to the X-Arcade PCB and that a new PCB design would be necessary.
I didn't get much more definition than that, and because I wanted to use the Perfect 360s, I returned the PCB and picked up a 3rd party Dual Shock to hack.
Very happy with the end result. My best console controller so far.

Yea, it's a lot of work to make this work, but I'm having fun. It's like solving a puzzle.
Besides my wife would kill me if she saw me break open another controller to hack. She's seen how much I've spent so far and even if I returned the x-arcade stuff, she'd give me *that* look.
But I could be up and running for less than $50 if I went hacked pads with adapters...
If this doesn't work, maybe I'll do that.

A multimeter is your friend... you can also get 5v from a variety of other sources. There's some other threads on this board (do a search for p360) where people have done just that and helped identify the 5v leads n' stuff...
good luck!
