    Assembler is right. This thread is great. I can't wait till I get a soldering iron so I can finally do something creative with all my 3rd party SNES and Atari 2600 controllers. I'm think of taking a busted old pointmaster stick and converting it into a 1 button arcade stick ;-) similar to this but in X-Arcade form.

    I was getting really frustrated with what it would cost to buy a 360 arcade stick and then mod it, so I figured I could use my Sigma Raijin supergun as a controller. I purchased a crappy Madcatz arcade controller w/ common ground pcb for $12 local and a spare jamma fingerboard. I simply wired the the pins on the madcatz pcb to the corresponding pins on the jamma fingerboard - and then I just plug it into my jamma harness to the Sigma Raijin. I did this so I would not have to take apart the supergun and add to the mess of wires. I plan on doing the same with PS2, DC, and Saturn controllers as well, since its plug and play via jamma connector.

    I am in love with the seimitsu stick and buttons of the sigma and am so happy to be able to use this as my main arcade stick setup. Yes, it is a sloppy mod, but it was a cheap, quick project and it works.

    Sorry for the crap pics:

    looks great thamasa! No sloppier than my x-arcade seimitsu. Nothing like installing a 30$ seimitsu into a 15$ stick I say
