I'm finishing up an Xbox based driving cab, and want to put a single button on the dashboard to perform an IGR. Has anyone pulled this off? Basically wiring the start, back, left trigger and right triggers into a single switch. I've hacked three controllers so far, all with different results. The closest I came was...
On the start and back buttons, I found the signal side of the contacts and soldered a diode to each. Then connected the ends together, then through a switch to ground. With a controller plugged into port 1, and my hacked controller in port 2, it would reset if I pressed the button, while holding the left & right triggers. Cool, got it for the buttons, now for the triggers. I found the ground line of the pots, and put them in series with same switch (with a diode pointed towards the ground side on each). This works on most games, but I get weird results on some. It is as though one or more switches are engaged, but I think the diodes should be stopping that?
I've also tried wiring all four leads to ground, then switching the Controller Data+ line. This didn't work either.
Any help would be appreciated.
