Shouldn't those be going to pin 9 and the white wires (wiper/center) to the pots going to pins 5 & 6?
5v needs to get to the pots somehow.

That's what I was getting the idea of.

That looks like what pin 11 is for.

That would make sense in light of the above. There's only one common on the PCB for the switches, though, right?

Gray_Area:
Well, I removed the reds from 5 and 6, and twisted them togther and put them in 9. I then put the yolk 'middle' wires to 5 and 6, respetively. And lastly I put the single common above the trigger/thumb pins on the pcb to port 11.

Hooked it up to a PC, and the DS is seen.

There's nothing in-game. And in the gamepad properties, only the right thumb and left trigger register - on the hat button left and right, respectively.

That would be correct according to the diagram above.  (L U D R next to the wires).
You'll have to go by Uncle T's hack instead if you want them to register as the thumb & trigger.
If those don't have a common ground though, you'll have no choice but to cut the connector.

The hack you're using looks easier and should work.  Your buttons will just register as D-Pad presses.

I'd check the other buttons for continuity to assure they're working.
If you can get to the pots, test them to make sure the correct wires are going where that pinout says they are.
It might help to concentrate on getting one thing working at a time.

Gray_Area:
Yeah.....I was hoping it would just work. My meter says there's voltage at the USB header on the pcb, but I get no nothing from port 9 or the corresponding points on the pcb. Any of the others read about .4v.

Gray_Area:
Okay, I found out some interesting things. There's between 8 and 10 volts each on the 'main' common, yoke L/R 'red', and yoke U/D 'black' (?). (Three of the leads on the same 'strip' as those for the L/R yoke register 8v, too.)
