: If you are hacking a joypad (such as a normal computer gamepage/psx gamepad/dreamcast gamepad)... Each button has 2 copper connections... How do you figure out which copper connection is for the ground and for the button press? My controller does not label it so I am at a loss as to which copper connection will be my common ground.

Look at the traces on the board. All of the traces that run into each other are the ground, the traces that go seperately into the chip are the others. Hope it helps,
Odie
