I recently picked up a WWF Wrestlefest game and decided to rewire the controls with updated wire, and also for the purpose of making it cleaner for future repair. Before I began, I took a look at what the previous owner had wired up. My conclusion. . . something is not right, really not right. Enclosed I have a drawing of how the ground is wired.
1) The ground for 1-4 player select buttons goes to player controls 2 & 4. However, Players 2 & 4 also ground on their own plug connector as well. Players 1-4 select have their own group plug as well. So these buttons & controls seem to ground out in 3 different connectors on 1 loop.
2) Player controls 3 & 1 have their own ground in their own plug connector.
My questions are. . .
1) Does it matter how you wire the ground, and how many connectors on it? Can I load up as many joysticks/buttons on 1 ground in any particular order as long as it's grounded?
2) Can I just wire the 1-4 player select buttons on their own ground, and each player controls on their own separate ground (ex P1/P2/P3/P4) so Im not feeding off any others? I really want each control on a separate ground. This would mean I have 5 different ground wires all going into their own respective plug connectors.
Phew that was confusing to write! Hopefully it's easier to read.
