Modding Question

Post by Mhino »

Hello,
This is my first time modding, and I was wondering how the wiring works for these mods.
I currently have a Sega Saturn Twin Stick, and a wireless Xbox 360 Controller.
I also visited the, "Custom Twin Stick Roundup" thread, but each one seems to be wired a little differently.

Unless you find someone who modded Saturn Twin Sticks with the exact same donor controller as you, the wiring will not be identical. I wrote a guide for modding DC Twin Sticks which may help.
Dreamcast Twin Sticks - Mod Guide

If you have never modded a controller and aren't familiar with electronics it is going to be a steeper learning curve so my guide might not be enough. There are many guides aimed at beginners that can be found via a Google search. I posted links to two such guides in my own guide. The slagcoin guide is particularly useful since it includes the soldering points for many common controllers (including two versions of the wireless Xbox 360 controller) here:

Thanks for the quick reply and the helpful information!
The links you posted are very detailed and easy to follow.
I've always loved tinkering with machines so I think it'll be a fun experience to learn more.
