Pot Based Pedal Dual Strike Hack - help!
Texasmame:
Thought I could do a DS hack to a pot based pedal by simply running the black/red/blue from the 5K pot to the appropriate place on the DS board, but I guess not. I have no place to run the ground and am thinking that may be the problem.
Any advice? :cry:

Managed to get it recognized by running the pot to the X axis one (left right). I need it on the Y axis one (up-down), tho, since steering is done on the X axis one. :(
This all got me thinking - can you do two DS hacks and have them running at the same time?
In other words - Star Wars yoke running as a steering wheel, using the buttons and the X axis. Then, have the pot based pedal working and have that be the Y axis for gas? I'm guessing that's where you would put differentiate between DS 1 and DS 2 in the gamepad setup area.
Hmmm. . . maybe I need to do a joystick hack for the pedal. . .
Any input appreciated.

I was unaware that it was possible to do a pot hack for the PS2. You sir have just taken away the rest of my already diminutive free time for the month.

If you are referring to whether multiple Microsoft Sidewinder Dual Strike gamepads can be active at one time, then the answer is YES. I hacked 6 gamepads for my 6-panel rotating driving cabinet and I wanted each controller (steering wheel, yoke, pedals, etc..) to be active all the time. Not sure if this is what you are asking though.....
I made connections to the Dual Strike gamepad PCB to use both of the POTs as well as the buttons. I have pictures of where the connections were made at my site:
