Question: Playstation -> DC Controller mod?

I assume it is possible, only hooking up the pad/buttons/l1/r1 (possibly r2/l2 also, but only to an existant DC button). Has any one done it, or would any one be willing to make a tutorial on it? I am not really a fan of the DC controller. It isn't bad, but I have had issues with buttons getting jammed and the control pad not working properly. I realize I could fix it easy, but a PS controller is just easier to hold, imho.

Also, any SNES controller to dc controller tutorials?

Double comma sentences of doom.

With the exception of analog on the PSX, everything is pretty much same for every pad hack. Hence, the NES tutorial will work for SNES, and PSX (minus analog). It's not that hard, you just need to think a little bit.

I think Marvin's the only one that has done dual-shock to DC. He did a how-to on the old forums, but since they died it's inaccessable.

So... they all don't have chips you have to take off like the NES controller does?

i've been considering a dual shock to dc mod myself. i am going to have some fun with it once i have enough money for a dual shock, and i have finished my snes pad.

I think there is a backup of them somewhere. I remember browsing throught them once when I was looking for them. a lot of the Articles in the Hardware modification faq thread were pulled from it. Unfortunately I forgot the URL, but I think Dr. Z or someone else might know where it is.

the url in the staff forum from a LONG time ago doesn't work, so i don't know if there is even an existing backup of the old forums
