$9 'Super Easy' USB Controller hack for MAME

Were you testing a hacked gamepad at the time, or are you just posting in the wrong thread? :D

Update:
I also ordered a WIRELESS PS2 CONTROLLER for US$19.84
I've just opened it up and its just as easy to hack. I'm going to incorporate it into a desktop controller in the coming weeks so I'll post some pictures and an update on how well it works wirelessly then.
Edit: I've successfully hacked it, and it works great! One point to note however is that there's a 'common ground' for the directions and all of the buttons, however the start, select, and analog/digital switch button has its own shared ground. For a standard control panel you wouldn't need these buttons, but I'm going to attempt something a little bit more fancy :D

That wireless hack would be great for those who are using a media center PC. You can simply bust out your control panel when you want to play and there will be no wires to fuss with. Hmmm...

I have some wireless Saitek PC gamepads for that very purpose... ;)

I used a PS2 dvd remote to make a Guitar Hero star power pedal. Turned out great.
