Seen these buttons for Coin and Pause. I assume they still work if you don't power the LED? http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/led-chrome-pushbuttons/35-led-pushbutton-with-bw-insert.html |
| rCadeGaming:
Yeah, they would, but why not power them? Most encoders have a 5v connection to power things like that. Very easy to wire. |

One thing that I forgot to ask about was speakers with volume control. Any suggestions? |

Stay away. --- End quote --- Read the rest of that thread and you'll see that most posters did not have a problem with lag, when they even noticed it. I also noticed that he mentioned using DK as the test game -- a game which has known issues when you hit diagonals -- so there may be something other than just the encoder causing problems. :dunno --- Quote from: rCadeGaming on November 11, 2012, 11:59:08 am ---I would recommend using an MC Cthulhu for each player. That will give you more than enough buttons, no lag, and the option to hook up consoles down the road. --- End quote --- Three points: 1. OP mentioned that cost was a concern. See post #2 in this thread for a link to Vigo's ZD Encoder for about half the price of the MC Cthulhu and no lag issues that I've heard of. 2. OP is building a bartop instead of a fightstick, so the multi-console feature is wasted. 3. OP is using one joystick and 6 buttons, so not sure where the "for each player" part comes in. The P2 Coin/Start buttons allow for alternating 2 player games. --- Quote from: jmarket on November 11, 2012, 12:28:20 pm ---One thing that I forgot to ask about was speakers with volume control.

Something like this or this or even this might be better. One final question -- What types of games do you plan on playing most? (It may influence your choice on the joystick.) Scott |

This will be in my basement / man cave and played by myself and others. I will use it for playing some basic older games. Excitebike, dig dug, pac-man, spy hunter, pole position and others. It will not be dedicated to any certain type of game. |
