PlayStation to GameCube converter
Moderator:Moderators
A while back I got this converter that allows you to connect your PlayStation controller to the GameCube. Unfortunately I got it in a non working state and as I opened it, I saw that the wires were hanging loosely inside.
There are four points to which all six wires were soldered to and I have no idea what goes where, so if anyone can help me out here. Controller pinouts aren't that much of help I think, because the signals go through the chip anyways. Here are some pictures:

It's a really simple design and I'm sure it would take only a few minutes to fix that thing, but without any information on which wires go to which point, I can't do much.
Thanks for the help.

Maybe you can get an official gamecube controller wire. Then you know the color codes. Then look up the chips data on the internet. I think then you can figure it out. (or you can use a multimeter on the copper pin's of the connector and the wires and see wich wire is wich if you know the what copper pin is data, ground exc. (this is of course on the cable you already have) )

Well...I got this:
One wire is 5V, 1-3 are ground, 1 is the data line, and one (maybe) is the logic supply.
So 3 of the pins are ground pins. I'm assuming the 6 wires you speak of are from the gamcube end.Pin Colour J1 Function
1 _Yellow _2 5V power supply (used by rumble motor).
2 _Red ___3 DATA line: bi-directional data to/from console, pull-up to 3.43V
3 _Green _ 4 Ground.
4 _White _ 5 Ground (Skillz interface has pins 3+4 wired as common ground).
5 - Unknown: not connected by official controller, or Skillz interface.
6 _Blue __ 1 3.43V logic supply.
7 _Black__ 6 Cable shielding / ground. Usually common ground with pin 3.
