MAS stick mod with Xbox 360 Wireless and PS/Saturn PCB

So Check it out, Basically I started out like this:



and went to this:



This is the former inside with the MAS PCB.  It runs Playstation and Saturn:



I wanted to use my 360 wireless controller and have it STILL work with the old MAS.  To accomplish this I needed DB-25 connectors and alot of time. I did something like this:



Basically, what has to happen is the 360 has separate grounds, but it has 7 shared ground if you use the right solder points.  Now, since the Playstation PCB used one ground, you need to split it to match the 360 grounds.  The thing is the Playstation grounds need to be split before they go into the DB-25 on their end, the 360 of course is already split.  This way when you connect the 360 or Playstation DB-25 the grounds will match up on the DB-25 which goes to all the buttons.  Kinda tricky.  Anyway, It now looks like this inside:





The 360 controller is mounted using Velcro in case I needed to work on it,  I cut the back of the controller and formed it with a dremel. I drilled 2 holes for the battery pack and mounted that separate.





Now, I changed all the buttons to competition (convex) and swapped the joystick to a Happ competition, I think it was an ultimate before. I also added a button, well I really moved what was the yellow analog button to the bottom of the stick and used a Happ convex button for the 360 guide.



I also took the art from 4 spider-man covers and heavily modified it in Photoshop.  I drew a leg for Mary Jane and the web at the bottom.  I had to repaint most of it to fit around the buttons and such.  The idea was to have Venom's hand around the last button.  Prior to adding the new Art I painted the MAS black.





I routed 4 holes under the art to hold the Happ stick, I didn't want to see those 4 screws.  I also covered the art with Lexan.

Thanks for all the help here, I may add a battery pack and a p360 but we will have to see.

looks great  , and I just got an idea for not having to deal with those corner cuts.
