Wanting to Hack a USB Gamepad
Turnarcades:
I had a similar problem with a hack on a different pad. I've hacked a few original joypads without trouble but on a couple of generic pads I've found that not only do the buttons have a common ground, from tracing the tracks it appears some buttons share a main connection with others too, and upon connecting them up after hacking they result in what you described; registering two presses at once. Maybe they have some weird architecture that makes then function properly, that fails when it gets hacked.

a xbox pad will work with the USB mod they can be had for cheap at a pawn shop garage sale ebay etc.
there's plenty of buttons plus analog if needed for something else.
use the XBCD drivers to run it and xpadder to custom map it if needed.

I bought a cheap logitech gamepad at target and it worked with no problems. Not all of the buttons and none of the dpad connections share a common ground.

Oh, Awesome.. 10 buttons for 10 bucks... I'm on my way to Target right now....

Ok, so I got 2 of those pads and I picked up a used xbox version 1 (bear claw) controller.
does anyone know if I can use the analog sticks in any mame games (flight, driving, etc) if I can manage to save and re-mount them to my CP?
