basic wiring question
« on: August 18, 2003, 08:51:00 pm »
Let me start off by acknowleding that I'm aware there are no stupid questions...just stupid people

...and I am one of them.

Just got my I-pac today and am starting the wiring layout.

Have read bunches but am still curious how I'm going to hook up my 8-way Player 1 joystick and my 4-way joystick since they both use the same keys in MAME mode.  

Can I daisy-chain them like I'll be doing for ground?

Well you won't be daisy chaining them but just put the wires in the same holes on the IPAC.

What I did is this... I daisy chained the grounds, like everyone i think does.  When I tried to wire multiple wires into the i-pac, I found it very hard to get and more than one 22 guage wire into the i-pac terminals...  So I went with the daisy chain idea for the other wires also.  

Basically, just go from sau up on the 4-way to up on the 8-way to the i-pac...  It workes perfectly.

Best of luck...
