Fight stick complete

I found a broken PS2 so I gutted it and cut some holes now its my new fightstick.

Pad hacking

I found the cheapest USB gamepad I could and soldered wires to the test points on the pcb and super glued them place so not to break the solder joints, the analog sticks were replaced by a simple resister voltage divider.

The only problem I had was the cheap pcb would lift the traces super easily.

Slagcoin has a great page on how to do this http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_wiring.html

The wires were then crimped to 2.8mm spade connectors which slide onto the buttons.
