I need help!! first off, my latest pickups!!
now, to EastX or smallwind or ppl who know...
my goal is to dual mod my xbox TE stick for use on my PS3 as well.
I understand absolutely nothing about electronics... what I do understand is how to solder and follow a diagram.
that said, say I assemble my IMP and wire perfectly following this diagram...

then... am I done?? or are there further steps to take?? Of course I will place and secure all wires and boards to try to make it look clean...
a few more noobie questions:
1. EastX's guide says
"The Imp will switch to whichever console's data wires are connected to the 1-data points by default. You must hold the Guide/Home button when inserting the stick's USB cable into the console in order to switch to the system that is wired to the Imp's 2-data points."
according to the diagram I posted above, it says "Switch the Madcatz stick to 'RS' before...etc", so say my cthulu is wired to data-2, do I now need two conditions checked to make sure the stick will work on PS3 upon wanting to use it?
2. my current setup keeps the TE stick plugged into my xbox, and when I play games I jus grab the stick and press guide to turn the system on. Since Guide button now initiates PS3 mode, does that mean nothing will happen is I try turning on my system using this usual method?? Do I need to start turning my xbox on with the button on the console?? Likewise, will holding down the guide button now turn my PS3 on if the stick is plugged in??
3. since I have an assembled cthulu, the D- and D+ points are obstructed... can I jus solder onto the corresponding points on the other side of the board??
or is that massive USB jack thing causing sum kinda electronic interference beyond my understanding??
4. Thanks! I hope I can ask more questions if I have them!
