So after a month or so of reading everything I could my head has stopped spinning and I think I am ready to build my first cabinet with my son If you pro’s would be kind enough to look over my plans and see if I have missed anything or if there might be something that would work out better I would appreciate it greatly. 4 player cp Player 1: 7 action buttons + 1 admin button hooked up to a U360 Player 2: 7 action buttons + 1 admin button hooked up to a U360 Player 3: J-stik + 4 action buttons hooked up to an I-pac2 ? Player 4: J-stik + 4 action buttons hooked up to an I-pac2 ? 2 more admin buttons on the I-pac2. 1 TT2 spinner 1 Trackball (U-TRAK) ? + 2 mouse buttons And possible 1 usb hub (if needed) If anyone was wondering the admin buttons are: Exit, Save, Load, Pause On the interface I know there are some different choices I have the mini, VE, or Wiz, or maybe the eco. With the mini I assume I would want to get the harness with it. That would make the I-pac2 a bit cheaper. That is why I am leaning towards that one. As for the other options I don’t know that they will cover what I need. I assume they will but I’m not certain. I am still not 100% on the trackball either so if anyone has an opinion, I am very open to listening. Yes I do want 4 players, every weekend my boys have kids sleep over. I know, I know a franken-panel :laugh: Thanks for your time guys!!! |

For p3-4, just the 4 + the start and coin should be enough. Definitely go with a good trackball. I've got 2. We have a blast playing things like marble madness 2 player. Ok, maybe that's the ONLY 2 player simultaneous trackball game... :) Definitely get a hub, probably a good 7 port. Make sure the power supply can drive all 7 ports at near 500ma per port. Personally, I have yet to have a situation where I need 2 buttons dedicated to the trackball. Position it right and you can use the p1 or p2 buttons for trackball buttons. That works quite nicely in my setup. And welcome aboard! |

Thanks drventure, I totally forgot to type the start and coin for each player. They are in my plan. ;D I love Marble Madness but I think we will just take turns. Thanks for the heads up on the power to the hub. |

Each player's "button 1" can double as that player's "start" That's how Gauntlet was :) |
