playstation controller mod

[watermelon]

ive just done the controller mod from here:
http://www.rbmods.com/Guides/Psxmod/1.php

but for some reason it just doesnt work. ive wired it exactly as it said, but without force feedback.

the controllers power light has not lit up and its completely not recognised by the drivers.


the only thing that i have done diffrently is i have wired it with a bit of an extension of around a foot and a half so that it reaches a bit further. but i dont think this is the reason for it not working.

has anyone else done this mod or have any experience modding playstation controllers?

i just dont get whats wrong with it.

Which driver under what system?

[watermelon]

im uing NTPAD under windos XP.

when i try to set up the driver properties and calibrate the contoller it doesnt recognise it at all, as if it isnt plugged in at all. the driver also crashes after a little while.

why not just buy a $10 PSX->USB adaptor from radioshack?

[daguuy]

because that's $10 more than some people want to spend

indeed, i dont have £10 to spend on an adaptor, plus its fun to make one yourself.

hmm. Some guides say that some new mobos don't support some older functions that are not available that the controller adapter takes advantage of.
Did you try checking your design with another guide?

ive olny found two guides and neither mentions newer mobos not supporting certain functions.
