Hello,

So I'm still waiting on those resistors! :)

In the meantime, I decided to take a crack at getting the keypad to work with the Xbox controller scheme I've been using. This is what I've come up with, using the diagram below as a guide:

You'll ...

Ok. I'll post again to let you know how it goes, probably Sunday.

Thanks again!

Great!

I also ordered this from that store:

They didn't carry 500 Ω resistors, but this one was only a tad higher. I'm guessing it will be ok right?

Thanks again

Ok, I think these are my last two questions. :)

1. Does the wattage on the resistor matter? I was in Radio Shack yesterday and noticed that resistor wattage varies. (I'm new to this.)

2. I found these resistors online, since Radio Shack overcharges and doesn't have the 62k resistors anyway. Look ...

Wow, thank you for this!!

I have just have a few points that I would like clarification on:

1. I should solder both of the resistors to to the center prong of the pot, which would then link the two outer prongs to it? Here is a diagram of what I think your telling me to do:

Original pot ...

Hello,

That's right, I'm trying to get a 5200 controller to work on the Xbox in order to use it with the 5200 emulator. I want the "5200 experience" to be as authentic as possible. ;)

Can you be more specific in regards to how I should set up the resistors and exactly how strong (100k, 200k, etc ...

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion. I picked up some resistors today at Radio Shack for 99 cents. :)

I'm going to try a direct connection first and see what happens. If it does always register a constant up, down, left, whatever signal, then I'll try adding the resistors.

If the resistors don't ...

Hello,

I currently use my Xbox 1 as an emulation box for various consoles such as NES, Genesis, TG-16, etc. I found the tutorial, linked below, detailing how to use a VGA cable to mod a "fat" Xbox controller as a bridge allowing you to use the original controllers with whatever emulator.
