I posted a Japaense link.... is that okay? It's pretty easy to read. I used the guide to sanwa-ise my DC arcade stick.

http://www.geocities.co.jp/AnimeComic-N ... dc/dc.html

The main thing you'll want to note is the table at the bottom. He matches which color matches which direction. and which color on the sanwa harness you should match it to. Ottherwise, it's pretty easy. Even I did it, and I suck at this shit.

For those that are feeling daring, check out his DC->GC adaptor
