    Default Wires inside a DC Controller?

    Hey all,

    Anyone know what the wires inside a dc controller do?

    I was trying to figure it out and here's my very tentative list.

    Black and Red: I figure these are power wires, but didn't try
    White: Controls, I think
    Green: Nothing? I cut it and everything seemed to be fine?
    Blue: I THINK blue is for vmu/memory but I'm not at all sure

    These are the wires inside the controller btw ;p

    jump pack is the rumble add-on

    it COULD have something to do with time stuff, or microphone, also. I believe xbox controllers have a "spare" wire in there as well for something similar.

    You're right, to an extent. I think you're thinking of the yellow wire. But it's not really a spare, it's used for light guns.

    I severed the yellow wire in port one on my xbox and rerouted it to the on/off switch. On the controller side I rerouted the yellow wire to a button I installed. It lets me turn my xbox on/off remotely
