Pseudo dual analog pinout

[rudiment]

Here is a pinout for making a pseudo analog dreamcast controller. This will map Y A X B, to, Up Down Left Right. At the moment I know this to only be useful for the game Bangai-O with firing directions changed in game settings.

I used a 360 stick because thats what I had 10 years ago. If there is a smaller stick out there now that uses the same type of dual pot design, please post it in the comments because there isnt a lot of room for placing the stick in the DC controller. Plus it sticks out kinda high.

You will also need a small variable resistor. I use one of those small ones that solder in a motherboard. Set the variable resister to 6.34 kohms and adjust if needed. You should be able to use normal resistors but i used this to test and I kept it in. Also, i got this reading off of a cheap multimeter so it may not be 100% accurate (another reason why I am suggesting the variable resistor). The resistor is used to connect the ground from the DC controller to the two 5V connections on the 360 sensor. I just bridge the 5V connections.

Im using ceramic coated wire in the one picture ................ I do not recomend that lol. Just use normal wire.

Yikes!! Isn't it great looking at your shitty solder work from over 10 years ago lol.

Gluegun fun

Edit :
Im sharing this in response to a comment on this thread. I thought I'd share how I smooth out the analog control :

Also, here is another much better mod :

Quase igual ao meu! Fiz do mesmo jeito a alguns anos, a única diferença, é que não precisa de tensão,apenas soldar nos dois polos,também coloquei para controlar os gatilhos e apertar o gatilho no analógico!

Not sure what you wrote, but Im posting this as a response to a comment on that thread. Just thought I'd share.

sorry, I used the translator and sometimes it throws out meaningless words,your diagram is very good, interesting mod!! you don't need to use voltage, just divert the rails like I did, I wanted to create a diagram for mine but I don't have time
I said that your Mod is the same as mine, I posted it here earlier, I did it 3 years ago, I used the Ps2 analogue, I did it exactly the same way, but I didn't use voltage, I just soldered it to the poles of the buttons and triggers!
when you press the analog stick, it triggers!

im not using voltage. im connecting the ground of the controller to the 5v pins on the stick. I use the resistor because it smooths the transistion from button to button. This makes the stick feel more legit.

You should post a tutorial. I'd like to see how you did your mod. especially if you have the triggers hooked up as well. That would be cool for outtrigger

This seems to be a good replacement stick. Adafruit sells them with a breakout board. Hell of alot smaller than the 360 stick im using. https://www.adafruit.com/product/2765?g ... gIM5PD_BwE

It's also at aliexpress. They have them with and without a switch :

FJ08K Joystick Switch with B10K Potentiometer

FJ08K-S Joystick Switch with B10K Potentiometer and tact switch

Here is a cad of a standard sized stick for comparison :
