Where to solder? Logitech Dual Action game pad
Video_Drome:
im gonna bump this because I really wanna know
Namco:
Nobody knows. You're it. You're the man, man. Grab a length of 20ga solid wire, plug that baby in and start probing around.
Here's my best guess:
Green is signal, and yellow is ground. Green (signal) are the important ones because with ground, you only need one good, big one. Circles are places where you may be able to poke the wire through and solder really easily. But those are just guesses on my part. You may have to scrape the pads/paths and solder directly to them. I can tell I guessed wrong in a lot of spots. But pretty much, paths that touch more than one button are usually ground. Then there's all these places where they put the markings S1, S2, S3... which may be signal paths, but some of these touch more than one pad.
But the definitive answer is going to come from you because I'm pretty sure nobody's hacked that one yet.
Video_Drome:
hot damn what an answer. thanks namco.
as for people hacking the same controller, i thought Yourmameman did the same thing but i guess his was a different controller without the "mode" button or the analog sticks. I can already tell the mode button is going to be a problem seeing as i had to press it to use the dpad when i started mame up. i may be able to get away with wiring up direction buttons to the shoulders and the start and select and leaving the dpad out.
ughhhhhhh

Hi Video-Drome.
Like you, I've been looking for a hack of the Logitech Dual Action Controller gamepad, that would allow me to use the controller with MAME.
After about two hours of testing the controller pcb with a multimeter, I figured out how to use the controller with MAME! :applaud:
I'd like to use your excellent photos of the controller (front and back) of my write up on this hack (with your permission.
More info to follow soon!
