Should I attach VCC from the PS2 cord input or the USB cord input or doesn't it matter?
Yes you want them connected, they both need power. It's to my understanding that the difference in voltage is not nearly enough to actually cause the ps2 pcb any harm.
Really? Again, THe Mayflash adapter has a single cord that splits with two outputs: PS2 and USB. Since the USB is only PS3/PC (and not 360) I plan on tucking it into the case and never using it. Are you saying that I need to connect the Paewang VCC to BOTH the PS2 VCC and the unused Mayflash USB?

One final question while I think of it - is there any limit (becides physical space) to the number of padhacked pcbs that could be placed in a single arcade stick?

I've never encountered this, and I've worked on sticks that had up to 5 pcbs in it (including LED board). I'm going to assume that there is a finite number of boards that will be powered by 5v. I've never actually witnessed it though.
The reason I ask is because I'd like to include Wii support as well with a classic controller padhack. I own an Intec Classic Controller knock off that I'd like to use if I can, which would bring the total of PCBs up to 3.
This presents a worrying problem - The Wiimote expansion port is 3.3v and the others are 5v. If I connect the Intec classic controller I have to 5v, would it still be okay? I have no idea at all if it could stand up to 5v.
I'm also not 100% sure if it's common ground or where all the signal traces are. I've taken a photo of the pcb and labelled what I can, but if you might be able to complete what I don't have marked that would be really helpful.
