Pc engine controlles pinout ? (adapt to Jamma ?!)

[pro7]

hello to the world  :lol:

except your page http://www.gamesx.com/controldata/turbocont.htm,  there's not even an inch of information on the world wide net about the Pc engine pads !!!!    :unsure:

to use them on a supergun requires more work it's sure ("as" for the megadrive pads),   But i plan and wish to use pc engine hack  on a jamma to play on an arcade machine

i succeeded doing it with Genesis,  (there was some kind of problem about the Ground,   if the jamma biscuit wasn't soldered on EVERY ground :  1,2,27,28 and on reverse),   it would'nt be detected, but on Finale,  all is working good  B)

i tried and tried doing it too for the Pcengine ,  direct hack to the positions (as always it's done on consoles mods to jamma 'without paying top fees on taiwan/hongkong jamma adapters),     the video on Rgb about the Pcengine/Coregrafx mod ?  1/2 hour before i didn't know anything and i succeeded on first attempt.     works very good and very easy  (the informations i saw on another thread  .. threatened me on their complexity when with a lm1881 i couldn't find more easy to work with the results !) ,      
__

BUT apparently i can't figure to find where is the good GROUND pin on the pad !!  (sodipad brend),  they have the "classic" turbo functions i soldered on the default pins (tried the other turbo but doesnt change anything),  and the white old pc engine pads are much worse on hardware aspect  

the most i could get are directions :  Down/left/right and Run/button1    but damn why the UP and button2  couldn't come ?    (because the weird fact is... on a Supergun,  ALL BUTTONS WORK  <_<  :huh: )   but when i put on the arcade cabinet,  there's a problem somewhere  because there are missing 3 buttons on total  :angry:

i figured that my cabinet had problems, but it runs good on slot neogeo mvs and the Genesis..   so what could be wrong ?

the first major thing i'd like to get informations is about the  pinout of the pads !   (apparently on the 9 pins of the pad input,   one is for the Ground  but i see that the 3rd on range is not connected to anything except the Ground ?!  (that's the only thing i did not try yet....)   but except that  i assume i have attempted all i could     (even "burning" the pc engine 3 times by different attempts to locate the good ground positions on the pad.. luckily with a strap-on adjusted it's not difficult to change the burned  "fusible" 1A)

sure it's rare that someone gets interested in pc engine pads i figure... none documentation i could find..  (except some pictures of the professionnal hacked pc engine converted to Jamma for arcades business on the past.. and they are huge on electronics   )

so you remain my only hope as some "genius" are walking around it seems  :lol:

thanks for reading...  and hoping some chaos answer on this grain of sand !

it's a WIN  

a small video talks better

a ground point problem,  in the Pc engine i took from the Expansion bus  the ground point,  seemed not enough  ,  tested so today from a big block of ground anywhere  AND it worked  B) ,   4 directions + RUN + 2 buttons fire  (and if pushed long the autofire is coming),  + Select  (but that's the only miss... it's not responding all the time or come crazy),  

so the work is done and my personal 5minutes of glory too

Ah, you crazy French kids and your excessive use of smilies.  =)

Glad you got it working, pro7.

I didn't understand what in great christ he was going on about until I saw the pictures.
So erm... nice work I guess
a small video talks better indeed! :ph34r:
