SMS controller hack to work with on 7800 - help :(

Hi there!


TL;DR - how is my soldering not working? Followed this tutorial: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.instructables.com/Retro-Atari-7800-Mod-Sega-Master-System-controlle/%3Famp_page%3Dtrue

 

 

1) followed it to a T 

2) it works for a few minutes then I lose the fire buttons. (I and II)

3) now I have a bridge across the jumper (instructions said it’s a diode but I am getting current both ways)

  and it’s leaving it always pushing a button (always closed)

 

anyone made one of these hacks? 
I regret not reading the comments before I wasted an SMS controller. Luckily I had a broken 7800 controller that was a broken shell to salvage the wires from.

 

feeling pretty dumb. Desoldered so many freaking times that the solder pads gave up. Maybe I should? Lmfao ?

Or there is always the raphnet adapters.  2 button support might not work.  But a seagull 78 adapter will fix that.  And will work with many controllers.  No soldering now or again if the one you soldered breaks.  Worth the extra $$.

I use a seagull 78.  Then one of these.

Pairs with my Wii mote nicely.  Then an adapter from hyperkin to convert wii mote classic connector to nes or snes controller.  Works great.  My NES advantage did not work.  And my nes max did not work.  But my recoton nes controller worked nicely. And my shines hyperstick worked great.  And a sense controller worked pretty good too.  And with a wiimote to gamecube and then gamecube to Atari adapter from raphnet Atari controllers worked also.  Except my hyperkin trooper 2 button did not work.  Both buttons did the same thing.
