SupeGun Joystick build: +5v question

Hello Electronics Masters of Neo-Geo,

I just got a Supergun from Jasen of Jasen's Customs (fantastic guy and incredible supergun build quality, couldn't recommend it enough). I'm wiring up my joysticks to the DB15 breakout board as per the Neo Geo pinout diagram ( http://www.thesupergun.com/wiring-diagrams/standard-supergun-controller-wiring-diagram/ ) and I can't figure out what to connect to the +5v pin.

All the Buttons and joystick positions connect to their appropriate pin, a daisy chained common ground goes to all the buttons and the joystick ground, then what do I connect to the +5v pin? I know I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks for any help or info that can be given.

You shouldn't need +5V unless the joystick has a PCB inside which might need to be powered.

Thanks Mtothaj. I appreciate your help. I was thinking that might be the case but wanted to ask and be sure.

The joystick I'm converting is actually a ps3 stick i made awhile back so the link to the dual mod is really helpful.

Thanks again man.

The +5v goes on your tongue, along with ground and AC in
