I recently acquired a Microsoft "Sidewinder" game pad, and will need another, since I'm trying to adapt an arcade 2-player control panel. My question involves the ground wires, of which there are a total of 4(after they converge). 1 green from the 1-player joystick, and 1 black from it's 2 buttons. And leading to the other harness connector; 1 green from the 2-player joystick, and 1 black from it's buttons and the 1 & 2-player buttons. Considering there are two places to connect the ground cables on the "Sidewinder" PCB, can anyone tell me which of the 2 black and 2 green wires goes to which of the two ground points on the PCB? Thanks. (Ghost).
