Dremcast controller hack

<< < (3/7) > >>

Kaytrim:
Daisy chain the ground wire to all the buttons and the joystick.  Then connect each button and joystick direction to the pad.  Just like you saw in the video in the other thread.  Then you can plug in the pad into the console and you should be good to go.  This case doesn't have a pad but the wiring to the buttons and joystick are done.  This should give you a good idea.  I hope these help.



Here is another one with a Playstation pad but it should help as well.  The black wire (ground) you can see going from button to button.  Then each wire from the pad goes to the appropriate button or joystick direction.

LoyalistRevolt:
do I strip them all

Kaytrim:
Just strip the ends where they will be connected to the switch and the pad.  About 1/4" will be enough.

LoyalistRevolt:
Could I shave the pad using a exactokife and how would the wires connect to the microswiches if there not bare?

Kaytrim:
Just the ends need to be bare.  Strip off the insulation at the end of the wire.   If you were to bare the entire wire from end to end then you will have shorts all over the place.

Using an exacto knife will do the job.  Just don't be too rough, you want to leave the coper on the pad.
