well, after doing tons of searching, I found this tutorial. http://www.xbox-scen...a-connector.php It shows where to solder the up down right left buttons.

I'm currently in the process of making one of these mods with a SNES controller, only I'm trying to do it with one of those shoddy Street Fighter Anniversary pads. The soldering points look simple enough, but being a complete newb to electronics, I have no idea where to solder the groundwire in the SF pad. Do I need a multimeter to figure out where? Can I solder it to anything isolated, such as a screw? I can even take a shot of the PCB if that'd help.

Any help would be appreciated. This is a bit of a learning experience for me.

After Screwing up a few Test points, I Tried to solder a wire onto one of the test points but after screwing up and having the wires accidentally get pulled off I tried to resolder, but my problem is there is no more solder left on the board, am I kinda SOL on this or is there a way to get the wire on board still? Being there is no solder left on the board it means solder won't stick to it. Any help will be appreciated
thanks

You can look right onto the controller and look for specific test points. The S controller is a bit harder being that I have a madcatz see thru one and I didn't see any Test Points. But I haven't seen a pinout for it yet.

TTT since the pinouts are working again.

Those different controllers are great!/ I didn't even know that was possible!
Do you also know how to connect a gamecube controller to the xbox?
Or even better, an xbox controller to the gamecube.

Haha can you imagine how much fun that would be, when you go play gamecube with your friends,
and you'r like, here I got my own controller "WTF" and you plug the xbox controller in the GC. hahaha.
Yeah I'd like that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif).

My SNES Controller looks like this:

It looks like a regular SNES controller, but could be a foreign knock off. Any ideas on what I can do with this?

I sent a PM on this a few days ago. I didn't get any reply. Does anybody know how to make this SNES controller work?

Since the chip is under the black blob, you'll have to work a little more to get it to work, but it's still easy in my opinion.

Just a little outside each of the buttons there is a circle of copper. These circles are where you will need to solder to. Simply use a razor to scrape them down and solder the corresponding wires to them. You'll find that the ground can be soldered to the top right solder point. As for the L and R buttons, simply find the two points on the board that the wires from them are soldered to and solder onto those (but make sure you don't solder to the wire going to the ground!).

Hope this helps! PM me if you have any more questions

EDIT: After posting, I realized that the chip under the black stuff might interfere with this mod working. If you get everything all soldered in and the controller does not work, you might have to use your razor or something to remove the chip and black stuff (i know theres a word for it - brain fart).

Thanks for the reply. I think I'm going to take a heat gun to the black blob of gunk and try to do the tutorial as stated above. I didn't realize the chip was under there..
