Sega Genesis pad w/ USB
I would like to know how to create this. I'm sure I don't have all the tools for this besides the USB and Controller. I've looked all over, but only found Snes, but the people say their the same to hook up, but It differest for me.
Note: I cut off the original plug for the controller.

The Gen controller has about 8-10 original wites, the USB has 4. I don't see how that could work unless I mix some wires...o.o.
I offically broke my Dreamcast, so any parts from it could help just tell me.
Also, I'm very new to this, so I believe in crossing wires....yeah
Also, I can't solder, don't have the tools/money for it. Anything else aroung the house can help..

paralell is easier, i did it for my snes pad too, you just need to solder a few wires, and install the right drivers
for USB youll need a microchip like matthemodder said, and programming skillz too, and very deep knowledge of genesis signaling, very difficult in case you didnt get that yet

I said use the inner part of an usb controller wired to the buttons of a genesis controller, not cutting the cables and tying some together.
To be clear : you open the usb controller, you check where the up button connects, (you do the same for other buttons) then you discard the shell and buttons and you connect the up button from the genesis where it must go (you do the same for other buttons) and you reassemble all this with lot of duck tape since the electronic won't fit in the genesis game pad shell.

good idea, if you dont have a soldering iron modding is pretty much not an option if you want something functional
for parallel port plugs, i find old printer cables to be a good source, if you feel like it

well you can do what i did and mod an xbox controller and use that then just use joytokey to use on your "multiple" emulators and such...I'm assuming you're a big emulator fan. You can use that to play FPS as well. very sweet program. It even has force feedback support if you get the right plug-ins for n64 and psx
If you've got an ass, I'll kick it!

sells some chips to solder into your controller and also comes with all required cables to play genesis, snes, nes, etc controllers with emulators.
Only $17; they were talking to the guy Dave Randolph, who made a nice tutorial to do this, on attack of the show last night.
