Anyone mod arcade sticks in wellington area?

[Darkf0rge]

Hey guys.

I have a problem that I have a xbox 360 TE edition stick that I also want to use at my mates house to play him on his ps3.

I am a n00b when it comes to electronics, but I heard you can get a PCB to mod the stick to be compatible on both systems.

If I get hold of these parts is anyone around the wellington area savvy with this kind of thing prepared to mod it for me. (actually anywhere in NZ would be fine)

Ill pay you to do it, of course.

Alternatively, does anyone in the area know of a place that does modding that might be able to do this for me? Cheers. Hell, I would even buy a brand new TE stick if I could find one online premodded.

My question for you.

Do you want ONE stick to be playable on xbox +PS3? or do you mind having TWO sticks, one for each? As you mentioned that you wouldn't mind buying another one.


Now, from what I remember Alan, Fluxcore (site owner) here has a Dual mod TE? he did it himself as he is a electronics Guru I could possibly do it as well but need to do the research on how haha. Oh and I think Lenny might be able too? or even Toomeke.
You could try him if he is kind enought he can help you out so yeah Alan is in Hamilton and the rest of us are in Auckland.

The extra piece of board is selling on SRK I beleive, so go check it out.

Maybe Barnstorm could help out too, or even those third Strike players there? 

Come on Wellingtonians, help out this brother

"Toodles Cthulhu PC/PS3 Board"

I ordered one of these a few weeks ago, takes about 2/3 weeks to be sent out.

I also ordered the Imp board as well to use the same USB cable as the TE PCB.

My mates working on it for me atm as i suck when it comes to electronics and reading instructions.

The dude that makes those has come up with a new board that combines both the cthulhu and the imp. (Called a ChImp apparently >_>) I might wait to see if that all works out and grab one of those personally.

Keep shit tidy etc.

Semi on topic...

PS3 stick + 360 pad hack + Imp = dual console stick with one USB cord ?

[Gankatron]

Cant see why not bro, the IMP apparently acts as a switch and recognizes which console the usb cable is plugged into and disables the other PCB.

i have never modded for a ps3 pad so im not overly confident i could help
actually ive never done a 360 either

i do agree that the cthulu is your best bet no soldering

check out the tech forums on
http://forums.shoryuken.com/forumdisplay.php?f=177
theres a thread just on the cthulu

ill have a read later/tonight see if i can be of any use

ive been thinking about doing this myself at some point but prob not till next year sometime

Good luck finding a 360 pad that is common ground...

Can't be that hard right Alan? I mean the late versions of the wired/ no wire controllers should be common ground? I m as the last ones I check from the PCB diagrams tehy are pretty easy to do... or you know something I don't which is most likely haha...

[fluxcore]

They are common LINE, not common GROUND. Useless for dual modding.

[zos'la]

oh hmm... lol might be me misreading
anyways what would you recomend getting Alan for Dual modding'? which pads are good to hack for the 360 with a common ground?

As I might be making one soon if I get my xBOX

[fluxcore]

xbox stick
cthulu

done

ps3 stick? find someone in the states that can locate you a common ground madcatz pad (you can't buy them in stores online) and get them to send you one. It might be the case that the madcatz fightpad is common ground, however they are ~$90.

I might have to build a shitbox PS3 stick out of MDF + cthulhu etc just to prove to myself that im not retarded enough to fuck it up royally before i attempt dual modding my TE.
