Hacking a Dualshock PSOne pad, good 411

TAKE NOTE DUDES W/ PLAYSTATION HACKS. This is very good 411!!!!!

Playstation gamepad hacks are pretty easy since they have a common ground.
I suggest the latest Dualshock PSOne by Sony (the white one, series H) You can desolder the digital boards ribbon cable and then solder your 16 wires (very tight solder job, for advanced dudes only!) to where the ribbon cable was. You must wire up a mode button and then you have a stick that can even work for USB, Dreamcast, Gamecube & Xbox with the appropriate adaptors. Email me for where to buy those adaptors.

This is a very straight forward  hack, if you have soldering skillz...

Wiring code (top of ribbon, away from the LED)

1    mode change
2    Joy left
3    Joy down
4    Joy right
5    Joy up
6    Start
7    Select
8    L2
9    R2
10  L1
11  R1
12  Tri button
13  O button
14  X button
15  Sqr button
16  Ground

Can't hang? Paypal me $40 and I'll ship you one all wired up and ready to go. Info here is free, labor costs...

good suggestion on the ribbon, but why waste money on a new controller, if you have 3rd party ones you don't use laying around?  you don't need the analog sticks or dual shock anyway.  Unless you want to get an analog stick or 49 way stick, but that gets expensive and is too much work.  You can get adapters at lik-sang.com and at another I can't remember atm, I'll post the link when I remember unless it's against rules to post sites that sell stuff like mod chips.

Good convertors there, beware with PS2> GC and maybe even PS2>Xbox convertors. Some will only work if there are analog sticks present, and when using a Dpad hack most will leave those sticks out. Worth thinking about I believe.

ah, found it, cool store

ufo psx->gc converter $2.99
blaze psx->pc converter $10, looks exactly like the boom I have, I even use the drivers from these guys

HAHA, Lik-Sang and Play-Asia have most the same stuff, same prices too

Magic Box 3in1 (PS1/2, DC, Saturn) xbox converter $24.90, kind expensive
Super Joybox 10/11 2/4 xbox controllers->PC $16.90/$19.90
Boom psx->pc $14.90,  one I have, works great as long as you're using updated drivers and your games support it, had to patch a couple to get this thing to work with the rumble.
Cube Joybox psx->gc, $9.90
GC 2in1 psx,ps/2(KB)->gc converter, $19.90, guess this is for those Animal Crossing freaks, lol
Skillz Cube gc->pc, $18.90

IMO a lot of those are overpriced, plus there's shipping from HK from any place, I might have to order a couple of those $2.99 ones, need to find a reasonably priced psx->xbox one now

Duh, Boom Dreambox Converter psx->xbox, $14.90, need one of those, I know boom works good too :)
