Title: PS1/PS2 Use on Neo Geo console
Post by: Mariomania on April 12, 2011, 02:30:17 am

HI I was wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction of getting a tutorial on
hacking one of my Playstation controllers to use it on my Neo System. I cant find the
joypad converter and I just have no knowledge on finding what I need Any help is greatly
appreciated.

The Neo Geo pad doesn't use an encoder on it's PCB. So you should be able to solder directly onto the pad from the PSX pad. See HERE  (http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://ultimate.arcade.pagesperso-orange.fr/tuto9.htm%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D728%26prmd%3Divns&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=fr&twu=1&u=http://ultimate.arcade.pagesperso-orange.fr/tuto9.htm&usg=ALkJrhhQXX-X8ipwLAOHabTBA9Uhriz3Rw)for help.

I think he wants to go the other way, use a PSX controller on a neo geo?

Just get a neogeo console joypad. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SNK-NEO-GEO-Genuine-Controller-Import-Japan-Good-Condition-JP-/250992804600?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a705642f8 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/SNK-NEO-GEO-Genuine-Controller-Import-Japan-Good-Condition-JP-/250992804600?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a705642f8)
