Well if you're using the original (known good) header cables/DB9 connectors and things aren't working, the board has a problem ..least of which being the possibility of the board 'stealing' IRQs that don't actually get used. If it were me, I'd be addressing this problem first =)

Probably your best bet is to just replace that wire ... although (carefully) cutting off that heatshrink and having a look inside would be worth the effort ~ idea is to try find exactly where the break is, in case other conductors in that cable are being stressed in a similar way. Cutting/splicing a …

Looking at the 2nd vid, I'm doing a 'Sunmer-Miller' and wondering why it is so.... typically, hand proximity introduces noise, and normally a component of that is the mains AC frequency (50 or 60Hz) ~ looking at the display, and how it tries to sync when hand is close, my immediate thought is …

Given that PC PSUs are designed to support "worst case" (fully loaded system) - I'd guess that you could just regulate -12 down(up?) to -5 . A lot of PSUs from that era were designed that way anyhow ; the -12volt rail is produced by the SMPS output transformer, and the -5volt rail is derived from a …

Considering USB flashdrives work, I'd hunch at the cable length of the game controllers is either causing a voltage drop at device end, or, the cables are introducing noise to the USB data lines (due to the cabling in the case). I would boot a live linux distro, plugin a game controller, then look …
