Been stuck getting the official gc controller working back again after cutting it up a few days ago. I've cut the board into two where the left analog, dpad and left trigger stays with the chip and the other half (c stick, face buttons, right trigger and z button) needs to be wired.
I dont have wires thin enough for soldering a cozy fit into the pins of controller chip so i have to make do with the wires from the controller cable. I've tried wiring the a and b buttons to their respective pins in the chip after scratching the copper trace just to test a response. But alas, they just wont function. What am i doing wrong here? Do i have to supply power and ground to the right half of the controller from the pins? Are my wirings simply wrong? Search far and wide on the archives of mod retro, gc forevers and bb to see if there are any diagrams for the traces or wiring for the integrated controller but have not found one guide my head can understand. Any advice or help would go a long way! Please and thank you.
And a side note, it is a hell of a job soldering those cable wires to the tiny pins of the chip especially with my amateurish soldering skills.
