Home/Guide Button acts like kill switch in Round 1 TE dual mod w/ Brawlpad (SOLUTION FOUND)

Hi there,

Been running into an interesting problem with a mod I'm currently doing. Allow me to first explain the set up.

PS3 - MC Round 1 TE PCB
X360 - MC All Stars Brawlpad
Switch - physical 2P2T (either it's in X360 or PS3 mode)

Some definition
Main Menu - menu you get when you press home button
System Menu - menu when you press and hold home button (quit/controller/turn off system)


Problem (only on PS3 side):

If I press the home button to go into the main menu, all joystick and button function gets cut out. In order to regain this function, i need to press and hold the home button to get into the system menu then press circle to go back to the main menu and then all stick and buttons are back.

Now, when I go back into a game (SF for example, the game menu is up and the joystick/buttons are cut out again). Once again, to regain function, I need to go into the system menu (and back) before it returns.

It's a weird thing that's happening. I've tried 2 separate PS3 TE PCBs and the problem exists with both. Perhaps it's a brawl pad interfering with the signals or something? I'm not entirely sure how to approach this...

Any help/ideas would be great. Thanks in advance!
