PS3 snes controller (W.I.P)
« on: July 23, 2011, 08:02:40 PM »
This will be the process of me building a ps3 controller into a Snes controller. i will be using the ps3 original controller, and the original snes controller board(i will remove the shift register).

one problem is that i will not add the analog sticks, nor the R3,R2,L3,L2. i figured out that if you take off the analog sicks (magnetic sensor type), the analog sicks do not know the center point. But i figured out that if you solder together both pins (signals) then it knows exactly were the center is so it will not go crazy. So if you guys are going to remove the analog sicks completely then try to use a 4 pin sick. Because if i had to use the traditional 3 pin pot, i would of had to mess with resistors.

the next problem is that i need to add the PS button. But i dont know exacly what to use, i was planing to use the original ps button from the ps3, or a ipod touch home button ( or perhaps a custom button). on the top side i will add the leds, and i will add a usb-mini to were the cord hope is at.

I recommend using the left analog stick were the dpad was. A lot of the simpler ps3 games use this only instead of dpad, and all the emus can use the analog stick for dpad , so you will be able to get more use out of your controller.

well i butchered the analog sticks already. so i dont think that its possible. lol, well this will prob be just for showing off lol. i will upload the pic were i have the brissel for the dremel attachment. This one is the biggest help, i was able to take the carbon off the traces were its suppose to connect with the daughter board. and its now 100% easier to solder to it :)

im not qiute sure how to add multiple photos with the 5mb limit here. So if you know how can you instruct me?(each photo is like 3.8 so i hit the limit with one photo)

I host all my pics on a separate site and link them here. I use photobucket , but any image host will work.
Do you know about the resistors when using no daughterboard?

This page has a ton of info on all ps3 controllers and gives complete details on daughterboard info.

but the resistors connect from VCC to com1 and vcc to com2

i actualy dont know if the ps3 RF will work on the computer. for ps yes you do need the driver so it works though usb. (no blueooth for windows)

here are the driver for pc http://www.gamefront.com/how-to-use-a-ps3-controller-on-a-pc/

reason is that the eeprom from a genuine ps3 has to connect to usb to get the mac address and therefore it pairs itself for wireless. on the mac, ther blueooth MAC address is shared tough the devices connected.

but whats funny is that for a mac, ps3 works out of the box, for windows the 360 controller works out of the box. lol
