MadCatz Arcade GameStick Pad-Box

I modded a MadCatz Arcade GameStick to be a pad-box.

PS3 TE Dual Mod

The base is a PS3 TE. It was extended with a Arcade Stick PCB and now it`s a dual modded TE. Done by Micheal aka IvIphisto...

Padhack : Saturn controller breakout (for MAK / NeoGeo support)

Hey,

I`ve made a Saturn to MAK/ Neogeo converter just by easy padhack. Thus now it`s possible to play Neo Geo or MAKs with Saturn controller. But the good thing is: It`s functional vice versa. Connect a neo geo controller to the Saturn controller and play Saturn with NeoGeo or MAK Stick.






I`ve not touched the button activation pads.

Button doubling for UPCB

Sometimes a doubling of buttons is needed. For example some saitek converters use start and select on PS2 controllers to emulate guide button or the UPCB and cthulu uses start and select for the GUIDE / HOME button. Since the user is used to dedicated home button here's the solution.



Buy an 74hct4066 like switch. This switch connects A to B in case that C is active_high (connected to 5V).

To have clear signals I've added a pull-down resistor with 10K

Pink Bullets Illumination

Hey,

and another fine led mod from PunkRockCaveman and me. While drinking only one beer per person we made the complete harness for this little friend.

Take a look at the pics and you know why we drink only one beer. ;))

Popcorn Kung-FU Wiring Part 2

So, this another Dual Mod controlled via with DPTD switch with just one nice looking Neutronik black USB plug. xbox360 PCB was cutted to needed size ;) This was a thrill :)



First the artwork!



Wiring the buttons.

Wiring is complete. PCBs used are Madcatz Retrostick and Cuthulu

Popcorn Kung-FU Wiring Part 1

Hi,

this is going to be a dual mod with a Cuthulu PS3 PCB and Madcatz Retrostick. Dual Mods needs common ground for all signals. Those both friends fullfil this needs. When dual modding the Cuthulu has one big advantage: Extra Connector for the xbox360 signals.

Take a deeper look at the pics. Here`s just the connection between ps3 pcb and xbox360 pcb wired.




It's a really good design.

Death Smiles II Finished

Here's a new method for wiring. Wiring is musch clearer and stable now.

UPCB and xbox360 piggyback

Hi,

PunkrockCaveMan and I have to prepare for the retrospektive. We want to present some sticks with UPCB supporting all kind of consoles.



close up of the xbox360 piggyback



It's easier to touch things once. So I've decided to built up three in a row. After taken that picture I`ve assembled a additional Dreamcast padhack.

See ya

Say hello to SAM, TIM, LIM, SUC and the LiPo USB Charger

Hi out there,

yesterday I finally received my own bunch of self-made PCBs. Here they are:

SAM for xbox360 and others.



SAM is Stick Adapter MOD for Sanwa JLF and Seimitsu LS32-0 like sticks.
This is the solution for all xbox360 PCB. Since almost all known xbox360 pads are not common ground it's difficult to assemble xbox360 with premium stick like the Sanwa JLF or Semitsu LS32-01. This widley used sticks have a common ground 5 pin connector and are not compatible to the most xbox360 controllers. This adapter solves this problem.

LIM and TIM


LIM is a Led Inverter Mod. To separate your PCB and your LED Mods LIM can be used to secure your PCB. Bullet proof led mods can be also done with this PCB.

TIM stands for Trigger Inverter Mod. Some xbox360 Pads uses no common signals (high instead of low) for the trigger. Due to this the trigger can't be used in some xbox360 pads. TIM solves this issue.

LIPO-USB-Charger



Led Mods or circuits needs external power resources. With this PCB you can use LiPo batteries used in handys or digital cameras in your mods. Up time increases and your LiPo batteries are recharged via USB.

SUC


But you need 5V in your circuits. Of course you do! Here is SUC. SUC takes 1 AA (or more) and outputs 5V. SUC works of course with accumulator batteries and has built in protection against discharging.

All PCB have to assembled with parts. Contact me if your interested in this stuff.

Bye,

Ben

Bruno UPCB full mod - the xbox360 piggyback

Yo, here're some Pics of the xbox360 piggyback mod for the upcb. First time that I'm using Retrostick PCB.


PCB is well organized and has as feature a spinner like interface. But it's more a little wheel and not a spinner. Interesting is the Headjack interface.


The pins are named so anyone can now connect own headsets.

Solidering was quite easy.

I've desoldiered the triggers and assembled two resistors 10k Ohm. The middle pin is the signal point.

Have fun with this
