    Yeah, I'm still stuck on this shit.

    http://park7.wakwak.com/~huye/cg/Turn_GD_V100_PAT.BMP

    A guy took that info, and made the following:

    And, it worked. I'm trying to do something similar, but can't make sense out of the goofy symbols. The guy above only made a GC->DC adptor, so you'd only need to pay attention to the DC connections (top left) and of course the stuff on the right.

    A link to "reading for dipshits" might be appropriate.

    I'd also need to buy something to write on a programmer to do this as well.

    Huh?

    So what are you trying to make if not GC->DC?

    Oh its like a PIC. (Never heard of it before) Maybe I can program it if its not too recent. Did the guy release the hex / source to the controller code?

    Yeah, he sure did:
    http://park7.wakwak.com/~huye/psdc.html (2nd link on the page - 3rd in that list)

    That part I'm not too worried about.... yet.
    I don't know how to make heads or tales out of the diagram. IE, where to connect what to what.

    First, get yourself some perfboard and the parts. It should be quite easy to place each part in the right holes... Once they're in, solder them in. Then, flip the board over. And connect the dots by soldering jumper wire from point A to B. Every red dot indicates a solder point and all those lines are wires. Because its the solder-side of the board, its just a mirror image of the front. The only thing I'm unsure about is the "Celarokku." Must be a crystal of some sort. Stupid Japanese part names... The #4 "condenser" looks to be a ceramic capacitor, while the #5 condenser is a electrolytic capacitor.

    Yo, thanks for the reply.
    That's the DC->GC converter, which I'm very confident I can make. I also had to look up what Serrock is... found it on some search engine.

    Anyways, THIS, is what I want to make:
    http://park7.wakwak.com/~huye/cg/PSDC_PAT.jpg

    I just have no clue how to read it. What parts I need, what some of the symbols are, etc.

    Anyways, I'm just a hair away from giving up on this one, and hacking a PS2 pad and making a hard mod. The big downer about this Whatetever->PS2 adaptor, is that it requires a 7.5v adaptor, and you have to turn the power on/off when starting a new game.

    I've got two DC arcade sticks, so might as well have one for each system.

    And before anyone comments: I did think if modding a PS2 stick w/ Sanwa parts, but they all look so ass!
