Actually, there are two grounds in a Nyko Dreammaster, so you only need wires for each button plus two.

: Looks like you got some good help in the below posts. Just rememeber, you don't actually hack the analog trigger buttons. You want to buy a third party controller which has the trigger buttons on the face of the controller as well (and hack those). Unfortunally, the Nyko dreamcast is harder to hack, as you have to solder both conntections for each button (rather than a single ground wire and then the individual buttons using one wire). This means for the nyko you will have to make at least solder 12 wires for the 6 buttons alone, (and then 1 ground and 4 for the directional). I recommend getting the madcatz dreampad, one common ground word for all buttons and direction pad.

: : i would like to know how to make an arcade stick with the dreamcast controller. i've found faq's on how to do them with the playstation, and think that it will work with the dreamcast and playstaoin2.
: : i need to know how to do the triggers at the bottom of the controller. I've heard that they are magnetic and not normal like the buttons on the ps/ps2. i've baught a nyko dreammaster and am about to open it up.

: : another question. if i were to make a ps2 arcade stick could i use it with the ps2 to dreamcast converter?
: : and also...
: : how would i make it so that i could have one arcade stick that i could use for both the ps2 and dreamcast?
