Hey everyone, new to the arcade game, started my own mame arcade project and im doing the cabinet right now. but thinking down the line, ive been trying to figure out how to connect my joysticks buttons to my pc and through a little research i saw that i can use an ipac to do that. watched a video online on how someone connected their control panel. for the most part i understand the wiring, im just if...

there is another way to do it. are there any alternatives to an ipac?  i am not that good at wiring, and am wondering if there is anything out there that i can get that have that all ready for me. i saw something at paradise arcade shop but not sure how it works because im new to all this.

i would like to be able to connect to my pc and possibly an xbox 360 or ps3.

if ya got any advice it would be much appreciated, thanks, help a brotha out. later.

Hey i saw how he did it but he had an xbox 360 arcade stick already. im building my control panel/arcade stick. i understand that mine would still work as long as if i have button for each function and it is wired connectly, but this PCB doesnt support two players right?

You can hack 360 controllers...  :)

when you say hack an xbox 360, what do you mean? im new to all this. are you saying open an xbox controller up and do it that way. im just trying to build my own 2 player control panel, and be able to somehow hook it up to my pc and xbox 360 or ps3. i just want to be able to use the control panel whenever i play my 360, ps3, or pc.
