This is where I got the pin outs. I believe most people use this diagram. I found it here in the tech forum. But it will also come up when you search for it online.

The project box came from Radio Shack. A Sony PS1 Digital PCB fits perfectly in it.
I like purchasing boxes from Radio Shack because they are way cheap.
You don't have to be precise about the A,B,C, and D buttons because you can change the button layouts when you play a game. You will need to connect the +5 volt wire if you plan on using a controller that utilizes it. I use a Hori Neo Stick and it utilizes the +5 volt wire. I was told by other members it's because of the turbo functions. I believe the Neo CD Pad and New Style Neo stick also utilize the +5 volt wire. The only think that was a pain was the soldering. The connections are very small on the DB15 connector. I used a dremel to cut out the hole for the connector. I recommend a dremel attachment for cutting plastic. Don't use a grinding attachemnt because the plastic will melt onto your dremel attachment.

Edit: One more thing, I used hot glue to keep the wires in place, and also so my soldering never comes loose. It also prevents solder from coming loose when you insert the PCB into the project box. I also recommend soldering the wires to the DB15 connector first.

Your comment is further evidence. Thanks! I work 40hrs a week, and I have two kids, a wonderful wife and all of my money goes to them. Gaming is just a hobby to me and if your gonna waste all your money on games, then your wife or girfriend should leave you. You don't have to prove yourself, but act your age and act as if you have been playing games for 20 years. Personally I really don't care about you, but if you read my first post, will you know that I made a comment about this being done before. I would rather you criticize the converter rather than crying about the fact that you need to see an X-Box converter. One more thing, I've been a gamer for 21 years. :p

If you can't take a hit, or a joke, then you are in the wrong forums. As far as your collection, who cares. I can talk about my money, my collections, my house, my underwear, no one cares. If you want to show off your collection, there is a section for that. You don't have to prove anything to anyone in these forums. Because you will well now after a while, that no one cares about you and me. All I care about is not getting scammed in the buying/selling forums, otherswise this website is for my personal amusement. So thanks for amusing me with your anger.

One more thing, smoking is bad for you.

Quick guys!! You whip them out and I'll go get a measuring tape!! :oh_no:

Seriously, this is way the hell off topic.

Now, if you read the instructions for how to make a ps <-> neo controller adapter then you would see that you can make any controller with digital switches work with any system by sacrificing an original controller, and connecting the neo-geo contoller pins to the switches on the original system's controller pcb.

Or if you want an even tidier smaller adapter you can use the chip which encodes the digital pushes to a format the system understands. Just desolder the chip (there may be a bit of other hardware required for the chip to work, get that too) then solder it onto your own pcb design that should have the controller port for the aes controller on it as well as a cable to connect to the system.

Or maybe even just cut off most of the original pcb (keep the part with the controller cable and chips) then solder the connections from the aes controller port to the relevant pins on the chip.

It's pretty simple. You could make a Neo to commodore 64 adapter if you really wanted to...or neo to PC...or neo to SNES, atari 5200, gamecube, whatever...

Also, congratulations Zapatistab. Your adapter looks nice, if I ever played fighting games on my ps1 or ps2 I would probably build one that was similar.

cheers,
-DT

Wait zap did you make that adaptor? I only get upset that everyone is soo quick to judge when they don't see 5oo+ posts, I love the neo and all games! the reason why I was a little agro is because soon there will be more neo ports on the xbox than the ps2 (here in the states) I really wish playmore would make a neo stick 2 for the box or someone would create an adaptor that was for sale that would enable either the original neo sticK or the stick 2 for direct compatibility! the xbox controller looks cool but its not for me the asthetics just dont make the cut or somting like that! Peace and I'd also like to call a truce, youre right this should be fun!

:) Then a truce it is.

If your in need of a good Arcade Stick check out http://www.arcadeshock.com/Browse_I...arent_ids/0,13/Name/XboxPS2_Mini_Arcade_Stick

Or try to get your hands on a custom stick with a PS1 Sony Dual Shock PCB. Official Sony PCB's are compatible with most (but not all) PS2 - X-Box controller converters.

Since you have cash, you can find one at Shoryuken.com in the tech support forums, or check out byrdo.org I hear his sticks are top notch.

They don't work with gamecube adapters, though -- you need to use a dualshock 2 for that.
(ps2 sfac pad + ps2->xb adapter = ownage @ doa3)

Why not just sacrifice an xbox pad and skip the whole ps2 stage? Or even simpler why not just get a Hori Fighting Stick Ex?

http://www.goldenshop.com.hk/AI-trad/xbox/horistick.htm

I love Hori fighting sticks. I have a Fighting Stick SS and a Fighting Stick PS both converted to work with my supergun. Both are much sexier than than the controls I built with happ buttons and x-arcade stick, much more precise and better feeling too. I only wish that the buttons clicked.

SS
http://nfg.2y.net/sales/html/EpAFlZZFuZkhZAVIOu.html
PS
http://www.vidgames.com/ps/hardware/horips.html

The PS and SS are basically the same as the Hori Fighting Stick for the Neo, but with twice the buttons, comes in handy for cps2 games.
