Question about rare Dual Analog-controller

Post by DD-Indeed » November 13th, 2016, 5:07 am

Hey there!

I'm gonna buy that rare Dual Analog controller in a couple days, since I managed to get hold into one of those. However, I've read some discussions about it, that it might burn a controller input board fuse from the console, due too high power consuption of the rumble motors. Sony quickly took those away from sale (back in '97 I think ?) and brought the first Dual Shocks to the market with redesigned rumble systems and size. But some of those Dual Analogs are still around, allthou rare.


My question is, that could I just put Dual Shock-parts to it, those go in without any issues ? Dual Analog controller's only difference to original controller and Dual Shock is, that is has long handles, which I would definitely like to have. So, putting Dual Shock-stuff into Dual Analog would solve the fuse blowing issue.

I've used the SCPH-1180 and I've never heard of such an issue. If it were even true, the only way I could see it blowing a fuse is if you were using two of them at the same time, or using them with a multi-tap and bypassing the library fail-safes on the motor regulations. One way to check is take the controller apart and put a meter on it in series and compare it with a regular DUAL-SHOCK afterwards. Otherwise, it's all just unproven speculation.
Development Console: SCPH-5502 with 8MB RAM, MM3 Modchip, PAL 60 Colour Modification (for NTSC), PSIO Switch Board, DB-9 breakout headers for both RGB and Serial output and an Xplorer with CAETLA 0.34.

PlayStation Development PC: Windows 98 SE, Pentium 3 at 400MHz, 128MB SDRAM, DTL-H2000, DTL-H2010, DTL-H201A, DTL-S2020 (with 4GB SCSI-2 HDD), 21" Sony G420, CD-R burner, 3.25" and 5.25" Floppy Diskette Drives, ZIP 100 Diskette Drive and an IBM Model M keyboard.

Gotcha.

Btw, here's some comparison pictures of the Dual Analog (SCPH-1080) and Dual Shock (SCPH-1200) that I just took (dissassembled the Dual Analog and washed the buttons and the case):

As you can see, the main difference is that the SCPH-1080 has some sort of chips on the main PCB itself and the analog stick board is just blank, only connecting the sticks to the mainboard, whereas in the SCPH-1200, the mainboard itself is simple and the stuff has been moved to the analog stick PCB, that has been sized up a lot.

The analog stick mechanic parts themselves are the same, but after taking off the pads to clean them, I saw, that you can't swap the pads between those two: the pad axle on the SCPH-1080 is round one made from metal, whereas it's curved plastic on the SCPH-1200. This is propably due the fact, that the analog pads can spin around in the axles of the SCPH-1080's and can cause some frustration to people obviosly (like, when pressing up on the left analog pad, the pad can spin to the right and you're then pressing right ---> very frustrating indeed). Propably that was one of the reasons, why they pulled these controllers out from the market, a design mistake.

Other than that, only minor differences can be found in these controllers, almost all plastic parts are swappable between both models, however, the silicone parts inside have some quality/material differences and the Analog-button is taller, exposed from the hole in the SCPH-1080. It's just flat with the controller's surface on SCPH-1200. This was apparrently changed due, that some people accidentally pressed the Analog-button, mistaking it as Start or Select on SCPH-1080 (IMO, that's very weird reason, why they would change something like that...).

R2/L2 shoulder buttons are different, they're shorter, but with this rised edge on the SCPH-1080, and they are screwed in with this small plastic holder. On SCPH-1200, the shoulder buttons are ''free'', after you just remove the PCB and other stuff.

One thing I also noticed, is that the SCPH-1080 has only place for the small rumble motor, but, I couldn't find any places from the PCB, where you could solder that in. And there was no place for the bigger motor in the other side at all.

I can take pictures from the case itself, if someone would need those.

I remember back in the day reading a magazine that claimed that the Japanese Dual Analog controllers (the only ones that had the rumble motors) were either causing damage to the other components in the controller or the console itself. It was a long time ago, but perhaps it was in the news section of - quite possibly - official uk playstation magazine under the heading: 'exploding playstations'. Unfortunately I no longer have my magazines and a quick online search hasn't shed any light on the matter...

This was the thing I heard too and mentioned on previous comment. Perhaps that was one of the reasons why Sony pulled it out from the sale ? Bad design on the rumble motor system, that caused damage to PS1's electrics ?

I've now played some hours with that controller, and I must say, that it feels extremely comfortable, fits like a glove. Dual Shock feels good too of course, but Dual Analog is even more superior to that in terms of fitting into hands. Very comfortable, very good grip and feeling, and suprisingly, those hollow analog pad tops have good grip, even thou they're made from plastic and have no rubber coating, like the ones in Dual Shock has. Sony perhaps had some design issues with those, but they should have kept them on sale, allthou on small quantities. Some people have big hands, thick fingers or long fingers, where Dual Shock feels a bit too small. Sony listened too much of japanese audiences and did the decision based on their feedback, which was, that the controller is huge. Well of course it's for them, but rest of the world had the audience for bigger controller. Shame.

Just a quick run-down on the different joypads:

Code: Select all

* SCPH-1010  digital joypad (with short cable)
* SCPH-1080  digital joypad (with longer cable)
* SCPH-1150  analog joypad (with one vibration motor, with red/green led)
* SCPH-1180  analog joypad (without vibration motors, with red/green led)
* SCPH-1200  analog joypad (with two vibration motors) (dualshock)
* SCPH-110   analog joypad (with two vibration motors) (dualshock for psone)
Uhm... I guess your analog SCPH-1080 is a typo, and you meant an analog SCPH-1180? And, as you said, it doesn't have rumble motors, so it should be safe to say that the (absent) rumble feature in that model can't possibly overload the power supply/fuses ; )

I've recently got a SCPH-1150 (many thanks to TriMesh for donating it), this weekend I finally got around to take it apart (I'll post the component list and pinouts later), and, after reassembling it, also did some software tests on it...

Concerning timings, the SCPH-1150 is by far the worst/slowest PSX controller that I've seen so far: It does require a huge delay (around 500 clock cycles) between the controller select signal and the first databit being transferred (digital joypads seem to work fine without any such delay, and other analog pads do require some delay, but it can be much shorter than 500 clocks).
The official kernel contains a delay with more than 2000 clocks, which isn't really needed by any known controllers. In custom code one can use less than 2000 clocks, but, for SCPH-1150 compatibilty, one shouldn't go below 500 clocks.

The analog input range is a bit different: Later pads can reach the min/max values (00h and FFh) only in straight horizontal OR vertical directions (but NOT in diagonal directions). Eg. on later pads the smallest values for upper-left would be x=11h, y=11h. But the SCPH-1150 does actually reach x=00h, y=00h for upper-left, as well as x=FFh, y=FFh for lower-right direction.

The analog pads are somewhat known for their special rumble configuration commands. I've expected that commands to exist on SCPH-1150, too, possibly with some different responses in respect to the missing 2nd motor. But surprisingly, it doesn't support any such config commands. It does reply only to the normal "read" command (42h), but doesn't reply to the "enter config mode" command (43h), and thereby, also doesn't support any of the extra commands in config mode.

So that leaves question how to enable the rumble motor (normally it's done by unlocking rumble in config mode, and then sending two motor bytes inserted in the normal "read" command). Turned out that SCPH-1150 doesn't need that unlock command, and one can directly send motor bytes via the "read" command...

Code: Select all

  Send  01h 42h 00h xx  yy  (00h 00h 00h 00h)
  Reply HiZ id  5Ah buttons ( analog-inputs )
The rumble motor is simply controlled by three bits in the xx/yy bytes:
  xx --> must be 40h..7Fh            (ie. bit7=0, bit6=1) ;\switches motor on
  yy --> must be 01h,03h,...,FDh,FFh (ie. bit0=1)         ;/
The motor control is digital on/off (no analog slow/fast), recommended values
would be yyxx=0140h=on, and yyxx=0000h=off.
In this case the xx/yy bytes have different meaning as on later pads (where they are using xx for one motor, and yy for the other motor). At least that's different once when the newer pads have unlocked rumble in config mode - when not doing that, it turned out the newer pads are backwards compatible with the above motor control scheme (allowing to use the small motor only; for the other motor one will need to use the config/unlock commands).

The LED state is don't care (rumble works with led OFF, RED, and GREEN). In absence of config commands, the LED can be controlled only manually (via Analog button), the current LED state is implied in the controller "id" byte.

Okay, here are the component list and pinouts for the SCPH-1150, and also for SCPH-1200 and SCPH-110. Oh, and comparing it with your photos, here also some questions/comments...

Going by the photos, your SCPH-1180 has the same mainboard/daughterboard than my SCPH-1150 (DD1P09A=mainboard, and DD1Q14A=daughterboard). Including for having motor solder pads on both boards (motor would connect to J1, but you'd also need to install the missing resistors/transistors).

Your SCPH-1200 looks quite different than my own SCPH-1200. I still have the microcontroller located on the digital button board (and the analog sticks on daughterboard). And you have that vice-versa: The microcrontroller on the analog stick board, and the buttons on a single-sided daughterboard... seems to be a newer revision (and even later, in SCPH-110, they seem to have replaced the button daughterboard by a membrane/foil).

If you've time to take your controllers apart another time... would be interesting to know if you have the same microcontrollers in there (the part numbers aren't legible on the photos)... or if you can spot some other differences inside... and which part numbers you have at the bottom side of the case.

That was bit heavy reading, but thanks from this information. :) And yes, it was a typo from me, I meant 1180 obviosly.

Now, since I bought that one controller, I've managed to get two more, so I now have three 1180's. I put them all apart, washed the cases and the buttons and changed new membrane rubbers to them, so they're in good shape now.

But, during that service, I noticed something very interesting: there were two revisions of Dual Analogs back in the day.
Not just the rumble (JP) and without the rumble (rest of the world), but there was two different kind of analog pad mechanisms on them. One of them was having those round metal axles I mentioned earlier, where the pad could spin around, and the other two had oval shaped plastic axles to prevent the pad from spinning/reduce costs. I can open them up and take some more photos if you need some.

Also, yea, the basic Dual Shock went through many revisions and got cheaper and cheaper by the end of the console's lifecycle. I have two PSOne controllers too, from which both are completely different; other one is pretty regular quality, but the second one is made very cheaply, possibly one of the last batches of those.

Yes, more pictures or part numbers would be great!

Yup, I've meanwhile figured out that there are a bunch of revisions for various analog/digital pads, this page has some (lowres) PCB photos: http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_wi ... B_DIAGRAMS for different models (if your browser doesn't take you to the "PCB Diagrams" chapter: press PageUp one or two times).

I am not sure if I understand what you mean by metal axles causing the pad to spin around... Is that the whole joypad suddenly lifting up like an helicopter? Or the DPAD, or the analog joysticks spinning somehow?

Or wait, I think I've got it: Just noticed that I can turn the SCPH-1180 joystick heads like paddles/dials (of course without any rotation sensor behind them), it doesn't feel too problematic to me, but I guess it could somehow "glitch away", if you are pushing too hard, or if the heads are too loose. If it's getting too worse then it could be probably fixed with some glue.

Yea, you got it now, the pad axle is just round axle on the other revision and the pads just spins like a knob on those, while on the other ones they don't due that oval shape on that axle. So you got one of those too, but I have at least one of those other ones. So yea, you definitely wanna document it up somewhere, once I get photos out of them. :) Dual Shocks had those oval shaped axles in all of them, so definitely the round axle-model has to be earlier revision of Dual Analog and the later revision used the same part as DS's. Sony managed to slightly change the design two times in 6 months, before pulling those out of sale. :D

I've been playing some games with Dual Analog for a while and I'm curious, that did you notice any lag with them, compared to regular Dual Shock ? I have a feeling, that they have design issues in terms of hardware. You mentioned something about that input delay, so that's correct ?

Strange, I own a Sony Analog Controller SCPH-1200, rev A (as written on the backlabel), made in japan, and if anything, I feel it's actually more reactive (less lag) than any other PSX pad i've tested, including the DualShock.

SCPH-1200 is a regular Dual Shock.

Oh, ok, I thought these had 'Dual Shock' written on the back label, not 'Analog Controller'.

Nope, Dual Shock 2 (PS2) had that written on the front side next to the cable output. PS1 Dual Shocks only read Analog Controller on the back.

No, I didn't notice any lag. Or do you mean that ugly 500 cycle delay being needed in the serial transfer? You'll never notice that with the offical kernel - since it's always using that even bigger delay with more than 2000 cycles - no matter what kind of controller you have connected.

It's only an issue if (any) games are trying to work around the kernel functions for gaining more cpu time (and also with my own kernel clone, which didn't have that nasty SCPH-1150 delay). I don't know if SCPH-1200 needs the delay, too. If it has the same "SD657" chip in there (?) then it does probably need the same delay.

No, I just meant the actual lag in gaming, IE, when doing some action with the controller on them.

I'll do some comparison test with Dual Analog vs. Dual Shock in some games. I have a feeling, that Dual Analog has some lag, bad response time. And I'll take those pictures in the weekend, don't worry. :D

Sorry about the delay, I couldn't examine and take photos of the controllers over the weekend, but now I'm working on it. This is the first set of photos, taken from that circle-axle model of SCPH-1180 Dual Analog-controller.

SCPH-1180 - Round Axle Analog Pads, Part 1, propably earlier revision

These are the three I have now and we start the picture gallery with the one on the left:
Image


First thing to notice on the inside is those lower shoulder button holders, makes it much easier to assembe the controller back:
Image


And here's the top part with controller boards attached:
Image

Image

Image

Image


Took a better picture of that chip on the board:
Image


And this is how the analog board looks like:
Image


And finally, the topside of the controller board:
Image



Second part coming up in a moment.

Okay, second set of photos, this time with the second controller on the middle.

SCPH-1180 - ''Flat Oval'' Axle Analog Pads, Part 2, propably second, cheaper revision

Dissassembly of the second controller of the picture.
Image


Nothing special in here, looks the same as the first controller:
Image

These three pictures also shows, that the boards looks pretty much the same as in the first controller:
Image

Image

Image


Now here things gets interesting. I took a good photo again from that chip on the board and noticed, that the analog board is Made In Korea! There was nothing like that reading in the first controller.
Image


Same thing is in here as well, the main board is Made In Korea, even thou, all of the controllers state on the back that they're Made In Japan. And pay attention to those axles on the analog pad mechanisms, thay are this flat oval shape ones to prevent the analog pads from spinning:
Image

Image


Quite interesting differences so far, I'll open the third one next.

Third and final set of photos.


SCPH-1180 - ''Flat Oval'' Axle Analog Pads, Part 3, propably second, cheaper revision


This controller is identical to the second one, so no differences can be found in these. Only difference I noticed between all of the controllers is the serial on the chip in the board, but that's propably just a manufacturing batch-number.

I hope this was informative for people and that the photos are good enough, I don't have proper camera or phone with good camera to do this stuff.

But there you have it, it's now proved, that there was two revisions of Dual Analog-controllers during their short lifespan of roughly 6 months of manufacturing in 1997.
