controller wiring

Post by pbutter13 »

so my design is going to involve 3 controllers, one is going to be built into my portable and the other two will be external. Im keeping the controller jacks on because of a long trip this summer and i want to do some coop but still need it to be a hand held.
My first plan was just to have the male part of the plug come out the back and i can just plug it in when im using it as a hand held but then was just thinking "why not just strip the wire and solder it on the board?" Would this cause any problems when we would play 2 player having 2 active controllers at the same time?

Nope. At least, I don't see why it would cause any problems. Just don't press the buttons on two controllers connected to the same jack at the same time.

thx brian, that wouldn't harm anything tho would it? it would just be having multiple inputs when player one would be playing (just thinking of ways for me to cheat right now :)

That's right - if your opponent is winning then just start smashing buttons on the other controller to mess him up :D
