No...he was looking for an analog arcade stick that works with x-box pad's analog input(I dont think its that easy).
I guess he had no luck with it. :-\
originalself:
I have a question. Did you keep the usb output in tact? Im just guesing that that would make it easy to hook this thing up to a mame computer. Or maybe i got the wrong idea about a hacked board. Also this could be awsome because the controller has an onboard usb hub wich is what the mem cards plug into. I guess you could wire other components such as mouse, ect, ect into this board if you felt the need to. But this is just spectulation on my part. I have only wired an xbox controller to my computer to use it as the game pad and have never hacked it.

sorry that I kinda steal this thread..... but its also about pad hacking....
Hi snaaake:
you hacked madcatz ps2 controls before ?? or just ps1 pad ?? (or did anyone did it before ??)
does those pad also has analog trigger buttons and do they have different grounds ?? or same ground for everything ??
thanks...

Never hacked any ps2 dual analog but did ps1.Same ground.
I can't remeber correctly but I am bout 90% sure that the analog trigger had same ground with the other inputs(it was looong time ago).
Only pads I know that has different grounds are PC USB pads.Hacked 5 different onces and every one of them had different ground.Like "trustmaster USB" pad had different ground EVERY single input >:(.

That was my hack :-) here is the pic again. The goal was to hack the pad, but still make it remain usable until I started work on the control panel.
I haven't dont anything with it yet, as I'm still working on the PS2 control panel.
BTW: PCC that is a nice clean looking job you did.
