yes,I just done all stuff on my controller and worked fine,mmm wich one you want to get?

remember the solder points can differ using different gc controllers.

I´m using this one.

I soldered all stuff on mine, and I added lot of hot glue to hold the connections, so I cant make a photo and edit it with the pinouts. (cause its not very clean)

but If you post a high quality photo of the pcb, I will able to edit it and put the pinouts per each buttom, anyway you should have at least two or more gc controllers, you will need cut some parts of the pcb for allocate then at the desired places

kaZar? omg ^^ ,common guys, I have an easy and short nickname :lol:

well, after check your images, i can see your official controller is identical to one of mines, but your photos are to tiny for add some pinouts, so I take some photos of my controller.

yes, you are right, some buttoms of the original controller are hard to locate (I used a unnofcial one for my project and it was easy)

So I scratched some part of my controller and then I locate the wire lines of the pcb.

here is the most important points you need to get, remember scratch first in the desired place before solder there :wink:

well, since this topic has warned for 56k users, I will post the images keeping the quality and size. srry for any inconvenience.

about the other stuff like joysticks, Z buttom or L R buttoms and triggers, I think you will not have any problem, just solder the same wires you desoldered.

mmm, dont sure about what that means. (my english is crappy)

but you can get the controls and ground for any place I painted before.

I think it is easy to wire

there was some page somewhere but you can just solder one corner then another sides corner then the the first side to the beggining of the trace coming from the power end then you wire the other thing to the other side of the button pad on the pcb then it will make a connection letting the console know a button has been pushed.
