Splitting controller

Post by dragonball345 »

Well I've been trolling the forums forever now and have tried I'd say at least 12 times to register and until some helpful person stated in another thread you cant use hotmail for it. (should be told)

Back to my questions
1. I have a dualshock 2 controller and would like to know how I could make it so my triggers are on the back.
2. whats a good way to desolder very small joints as I seem to be having troubles with the ones on the board. Board is from the fatter model. The only thing I've thought of but yet to try is adding solder then getting all of it at once or turning up the wattage then using desoldering braid. (have 20 or 40 watt model iron with a medium to small sized tip)
3. I have some of these screens would they be feasable as use for modding or not. I've looked at the thread on screens lots and have yet to find on google a diagram for inputs on the screens.

as far as the triggers go, the ps1 controllers have some very nice seperate pcb boards (2 of them) with the rubber tactile switches built on. I would use those for your new triggers because they are easier to deal with.

Sad to say, I have no clue how to wire them up to a dual shock 2. The leads all run around in that thin plastic inside. I say trace them to the source and see if you can get a good onboard connection.

In my inexperience, I may have missed something obvious. Hopefully someone can point out something easier.

3rd party controllers are usually much easier. Pop it open and see if there are pcb boards for the triggers. If so, see if you can easilly reposition them to the back.

So are those screens full units? What I mean is, are you able to just connect power and give it a video input and it works?
