With the help of Plague, my new project this weekend.



I am going to take pictures of the process and post them when I am finished.

Looking forward to the result.

What kind of Joysticks are you using?

here's a pic if you wanted to see how a 4716 pad + cthulhu/chimp would look like fitted in a vshg.

the 4716 is a bit bigger than the pcb used in plague's stick so you would need to dremel down part of the inside to make things fit like i have them.

with the pcb's installed like in the pic above, you can run the rest of the wiring from cthulhu/chimp direct to the vshg pcb like the kod vshg tutorial (you just don't connect the d+ & d- from vshg pcb to anything) and you can use the existing quick disconnects, 5 pin harness, and long pcb buttons without alot of rewiring.

so basically

1. wire madcatz pad to chimp pad like normal.

2. modify the case so it can fit like so.

3. from the cthulhu/chimp holes, wire direct to the vshg pcb like in the kod tutorial.

4. cut the usb wire from the vshg pcb and extend the wires to reach your chimp pcb.
5. put everything back together.

the point of doing it this way is to be able to use the existing button and stick wiring from the vshg pcb without cutting anything and to be able to fit the pcb's in comfortably.

anyways, thought i'd share since i've done a few of them this way.

good luck guys.

I did not want to cut the case. I fit the 4716 under the start button. It fits, and there is no rattle.

nice!

So clean!

Awesome. It's good to get a thumbs up from you.

Damn homie, that's a clean job.
