In Reply to: Do I really need wire to each common on a gravis gamepad USB?? posted by Luke Arntson on 11, 2001 at 9:46 PM:

Use a PSX pad then get a PSX-USB convertor. Every psx pad I've ever bought had just one ground.


: Well I got a Gravis Gamepad USB not to long ago to hack apart and wire up to my arcade cabinet. I opened it up to discover that Gravis decided it would be necessary to put diodes on every trace, including the commons, and use them as transistors. Why? I don't know. But I was wondering if anyone knows an easier way to get the common off of the traces, so I only have to have 1 common, instead of 16 commons? Thnx in advance.
