I think this will be easier if i just explain my problem...
At the moment i only have for my snes are 2 very crap joypads which i got for free in hopes to hack em, now i was thinking about using these as an arcade interface and what i wan't to do is have these connected to an DB25 plug or something (i only need 13 for the standard + about 4 i think for the programable stuff) anyway i really would love a joypad, as far as i can see its too much trouble to build my joypad but is there any good quality joypads that could be hacked this way i was thinking about using a psx or similar controller but the buttons on them usually go strait onto the pcb is there away around this or any other idea's...
i know it would'nt be too hard to just wire it to a neo-geo controller (i'm pretty sure they made joypads too) but 4 buttons and it used +5 as common..but this would be redundant as neo-pads would be harder to get then snes ones..
then again i could use the shell of a psx cotroller and replace it with my own buttons and d-pad... is there a place that sales these components.
come to think of it does anyone sell decent snes pads
