lokesen:
I have had countless request for a completely basic guide to how arcade controls is hooked up to a computer. So I made this:

http://www.koenigs.dk/mame/eng/basicwiringguide.htm

Probably too basic for you guys, but I thing many people have a hard time understanding how it works on a basic level.


Cheers!

Nice guide.  :applaud: I would add an explanation about NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed) too. I've had to explain this myself on a few occasions.  :banghead:

Yes it's a little vague on that :) I will update it with a few extra words and correct some of the many miss spellings.

I know it's very basic, but it seems there is a need for a noob guide  :-\

Thanks :)

If you think you REALLY have something to offer, you should add it to the wiki. Why devalue the forum?

Sorry, but I like lokesen's guide more, since it uses WAY less words and only the necessary schematic. Perfect for newbies and noobs (and I am one of them  ;D ). The Byoac Wiki is nice for hardcore builders or when you want to dive deeper into the stuff, but IMHO has too much text and too little schematics.

But lokesen might want to add his stuff to the wiki, since it's so comprehensibly formulated?
