--- Quote from: MonMotha on April 15, 2007, 10:03:14 pm ---I have an encoder board design laying around (not manufactured yet) that supports a playstation in either analog or digital mode, including analog inputs (you can hook either pots or 0-5V analog inputs up). No way I can beat the price on picking up a couple cheap digital pads at Gamestop and prying the top off, but I can make the analog inputs work (or I can map an 8-way to the analog stick), and it'll certainly look much cleaner. If you cared, I could make the inputs arbitrarily mappable, too. I should be able to get it well below $70, especially if I can get more than one person interested. If you don't need the analog inputs, it's certainly cheaper (though very, very ugly) to just solder some wires down to a cheap-o digital controller. --- End quote --- I was looking into doing this for the custom controller builders for both X-Box and Playstation. I was asking over at another forum and the sweet spot seems to be in the $20-$30 range for these. About the same price as keyboard encoders. There does seem to be a market for them. I know that I would look into purchasing them for any customs that I would build. I don't like the idea of hacking a game pad. Kaytrim |

Alright, sounds like there's some real interest in this. I'll try to get a prototype out for fabrication of the PCB early next week. I'll look into XBox (electically a fairly known problem, software wise I have no information) and GameCube (I investigated this a while back - should be doable) support, as well. |

Some PS2 encoders would be great. Less so for xbox and GC. |
