Lol

Ok I have a hagstrom encoder
and I have opened and wired dc controller. How exactly do I wire it to my controls with the existing wires I already have for my pc (mame stuff) If there is a dc to mame for dummies book I would like to read it.

BombProofPlane:
i thought someone else would answer this when i saw it yesterday but hey

freppa:
The above will work great if you have a JAMMA-cab but if you don't you have to take another route.

I think most people use some kind of connectors to switch the controlpanel between a hacked DC-controller and the keyboardcontroller. Like DB25-printerplug or molexconnectors.
I assume that was what you were asking about.

As far as I know there is way to use there is no way to use your existing hagstromsencoder with the DC

Jakobud:
I'm confused...you are wanting to wire up your Dreamcast controller to a keyboard encoder?  Or are you trying to wire up your arcade buttons to your DC controller?

Lilwolf:
If you want both the PC and the console connect at once, you will probably need diodes between them.  

Wouldn't it be easier just to add some why to unplug one and plug the other in?  This would also allow you to have hotswappable control panels!  Add a few db25 ends and you have a good solution for PC and consoles!
