...Well I have a softpad that I want to convert into a metal (wasn't sure which topic to put in so, eh.) and was wandering how I can extend the connectors for the buttons (I want to make a doubles pad and use the x, o, square, and triangle buttons as the second pad. any ideas? thnx in advance.

converting a soft pad to a metal pad is silly

think about it

both your question and your project itself imply that you don't have a good enough understanding to set off on your own like that. stick to the tutorials and guides

From what I understand, you want to make 2 metal pads out of one soft pad. It could be done, but you have to make your own PCB to convert the X,O,/\ and [] buttons to <V^> arrows. Very hard! I think you may want to instead, make all those buttons on one metal pad, but the X button can be the < and ^ at the same time! Kinda like a cheat pad! nerd.gif

I'm not worried about what it does (I'll just change it in stepmania). I was hoping you could post tutorials and guides...

You should buy DDR if you want Konami to make more songs. So, really, you should be interested in a pad that works as Two PS2 controllers, to keep it compatible with your purchased versions.

GAH!
I meant like what do I do with the connection to the old ones, and where to solder.

I haven't updated my signature in ages.
