Post by metalcookie »

how would you make one? i've experimented, unsuccessfully, and i've looked around the net, and still no luck. i know SisuF did this in his portable, and it would help me a lot with my portable

It's usually for the dpad, but it works with c buttons just the same.

I'm ashamed of you. You seemed like the person to search before posting. This diagram works, I've used it before, but the c-stick makes games awkward.

I think we should check to see if you can withstand 220 volts

ok, i've wired everything correctly, but it won't work. for some reason, however, when i put my test leads from my multimeter and try it works when i test it. i'll keep experimenting til i get it working, though

Do as the picture says (unless someone else has done it and will provide their numbers).

When put in series, resistance adds. So yes.

for some reason, when i put my test leads on the wires and try and use the analog stick, it works, so i'm thinking i need a resistor that can replicate the resistance of a multimeter, or atleast that's what i think might make it work it sounds stupid, but i think it may fix it

Indeed, which is why I don't see the benefit of doing this mod anyway. Pressing the Z/A/B with a C button would be hardly great.
