How much wire is needed?
<< < (3/3)
mgb:
that harness has more than the standard jamma 3 buttons each.
worst case scenerio, you get 2, they're cheap.
ragnar:
I probably used 50 feet of speaker wire.  Remember that half of the wires are a common so there is not much wire there thanks to daisy chaining.  And if your iPac is in your CP, the runs to most buttons will be short

I have an iPac 2 in my CP.  So he runs from the buttons are fairly short.  Maybe 2 feet per button.  The exceptions being the 2 buttons I have on top of my cab for shift and shut down (highly recommend shutdown up top and a shift hidden somewhere)

I have
2 - u360s ... these are USB joysticks so no wire needed
11 buttons per player (N64 full support).  So 9 play buttons, start and coin per player
I also have 3 admin keys.  start and pause and quit.  I highly recommend this setup and I don't think I could live without it.  How many times I have paused a fighting game to look at a moves list is beyond me at this point.

I keep hte shift key out of the way so my kids can't get to things like Mortal Kombat.  Those are on a "mature" game list.
