WTB Dreamcast Controllers
« on: September 03, 2006, 09:10:31 am »
Looking to build my stock up a bit for the hacking business.  I need working Sega Officials or Madkatz.  Let me know if you have any extra's laying around.

Thanks!!

Reviving this thread.  I still need DC controllers...  Sega officials, or the MadKatz 6 button variety.  Thanks!  :cheers:

the sega ones aren't very good for hacking, I would strongly recommend just sticking to any off brand 6 button variety...

I've been doing this for quite some time...  I've probably hacked 40 sega officials already with no problems.  They work just as well as the MadKatz.

how do you get buttons L and R? 

The way the L and R triggers work is by hall effect (magnets).  If you look closely on the pcb, there are little black rectangular hall effect sensors that sit under where the magnets move.  There are four solder points on the sensor.  The one that looks bigger than the other three is where you attach your wire.  :)
