Dingoo B and Y button fix

Posted Sun, 04/26/2009 - 01:13 by ShockSlayer

As you all know, the Dingoo has a flaw with the X and Y buttons, for some strange reason, the Y button is released when you press B. This affect my favorite SNES games, and I'm sure there are other games affected by this. I litterally could not play some of my favorite titles, so I had to come up with some way to fix this. So, with a simple DPDT switch, and a little remapping, I could play my game without having to sacrifice that same SNES feel. Here is an 8 minute video explaining everything, and showing it in action.

Just attach two small wires that cross each other that connect each corner contact to the opposite corner contact. I.E. connect the upper left contact to the lower right, and connect the upper right contact to the lower left. It's now easy to see that switched one way the X button connects to X and the Y button connects to Y. Switched the other way and the X button connects to Y and the Y button connects to X.
