Dreamcast control pad hacking
anthony691:
I was wondering how hard it is to hack a 6 button DC control pad, and if any of you have messed it up a few times?
Thanks for your input; it looks like I may have to do this :)

Have you looked at CD_Visions page?

I don't know, I have soldered before, but I am not the GREATEST. Do I need a Madcatz pad or would a normal one be reasonable?
anthony691:
Better yet, with his instructions and a Madcatz pad, would it be fairly easy?
Generic Eric:
The MadCatz and other 3rd party manufacturers are supposed to be better suited because the have larger holes on the circuit board for soldering components. This makes it easier to connect it to the arcade controls.
Hope this helps.
