help, dreamcast custom arcade stick wiring problem.
I am doing a control hack with a Dreamcast "High Frequency" third party control to an arcade stick.I know how to solder and I know where to wire on the arcade parts,but I don't know where to solder or connect to on the control board.I already went on different websites and there all different controls and not helpful.Can someone help me with this? Is the Genesis control easier to make a arcade stick? I also have a u.s. Saturn joystick that sucks, I wonder if I can mod that?

I tried to wire up my third-party controller that didn't work and I broke my control port fuse(f1) in my Dreamcast I thought I broke the system,untill I read how easy it was to replace the fuse,at least that went fine.I came across this website http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/pages/boards.shtml
They make boards that make it easy for people that want to build the outside not the hacking part or at least make it easier,but right now they only have it for ps3 and pc.Hopefully soon they are going to make them for the older game systems like Saturn,Gamecube,Dreamcast and others,I will order one as soon as they come out.
