How far do I cut the wiring on the diode? also, when i am cutting the internal wires of the vci, AFTER i cut the ground wire, do it matter where i put the first wire to the arcade button? Thanks
it shouldn’t matter how deep you cut the wire ends of the diode. just follow the youtube posted guide, it’s also somewhere on the djtt main site.
i am wondering however if polarity matters at all on the diode.
also, is there a better definitive guide anywhere for the arcade mod to the vci?!
the youtube guide has no information on how to precut the diodes…
you can cut them to any size…1/4" to 1/2" should be fine…and they can go to any button first/second third (doesn’t matter) or any one of the two legs (either one).

yes. A lot. Diodes only work in one direction, it’s kinda the point of them.
word, this is my first electrical mod job. Does it matter which side on the arcade button that I connect the first vci wire too? And I place the diode colored band towards the button? Thanks
