| how to wire 4 joysticks on my cocktail cabinet? Separate or 2x2? |

| Marsupial:
if you have kids, wired them separate. You'll be happy when you play and they touch "anything"... |
| bkenobi:
You can't play 4 player gauntlet if you wire the joysticks together. |
| mgb:
Yeah but Gaunlet is probably the only game that the 4 player will be worth anything on this (due to its overhead view) |

Thanks for all the input here guys! --- Quote from: Bender on February 15, 2011, 01:40:46 am --- --- Quote from: Marsupial on February 14, 2011, 09:26:20 pm ---if you have kids, wired them separate.

Normally there won't be any kids playing, only grownups, but you probably know how they get when they had a couple of beers and you're just kicking someone's ass on Galaxian :laugh2: Besides: there's always the accidental touching just when you're on a roll... Good point! --- Quote from: leapinlew on February 14, 2011, 09:08:28 pm --- --- Quote from: mgb on February 14, 2011, 07:08:23 pm ---Yeah but then you talking about spending more and getting an ipac 4 instead of a two. --- End quote --- Not to mention a lot of configuration on an individual per game basis --- End quote --- The additional cost of the ipac4 (around +$30 I guess) isn't that big of a problem when I see the complete cost of the project ;D It will probably result in a bit more configuring for some of the games, but if I set up one of the side-joysticks as #1 it will only require extra setup for the vertical games, I guess. To sum it all up: 4 sticks separate - no problems when unused joysticks are touched - 4 player games possible 2x2 sticks - cheaper (ipac-2 will suffice) - no need for separate configuring of inputs for vertical games Hmm, my preference is now switching from "2x2" to "4 separate"... :) |
