As far as the buttons here is what I am thinking right now. Joystick and 6 buttons for game play. Player1, Player2, P1 Coin, P2 Coin, Pause, Power for computer Will the Xin Mo 1 player Arcade Controller to USB - PC or PS3 control all these buttons? Here is the Joystick and 6 button layout I am thinking. http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/layout/z_face.jpg I will look into the monitor power. |

The 1P Xin-Mo can do joystick and up to 12 buttons, so you can add one more button if desired. Scott |

I also plan on just using a cardboard box for the control panel for testing to make sure I can get everything configured and working before even making the wood cabinet. Thanks for your help and suggestions. If any other thoughts please share. |

Stay away. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,113432.0.html --- Quote from: dmarcum99 on September 05, 2011, 12:35:38 am ---I'm not going to bash Paradise Arcade's customer service because I had a good experience with them. I got my 2-player Xin Mo in under a week. (Hawaii to Ohio) I will make a comment on the performance of the two-player Xin Mo. I have noticeable lag. I had a j-pac go bad and I was short on cash so I went with a less expensive alternative. Playing Donkey Kong, the lag was immediately noticeable. Going up the 1st ladder(or any ladder) and attempting to turn left(or right) without hesitation is impossible. Trying to play Pac-Man/Ms. Pacman w/speedup hack was frustrating as well. Having the joystick pushed down and watching Pac-Man zoom right by the opening I intended had me cussing the little yellow chomp monsters. All games I play now suffer from the lag. Attempting to make sense of this and make sure I wasn't halucinating, I tried using USB and PS2 keyboards and the lagging did not exist as DK & PM were much more playable. I'm sure if I mashed a whole bunch of keys I would mess things up, but my issue was with lag and not ghosting. I'm out of work right now so I'm stuck with what I have...but when my finances improve, another keyboard encoder is on my short list. --- End quote --- 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. --- Quote from: jmarket on November 11, 2012, 11:31:54 am ---Here is the Joystick and 6 button layout I am thinking. http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/layout/z_face.jpg --- End quote --- Do you mean those stick and buttons, or just referring to the layout? That looks like an Astro City player 2 layout. I'd recommend the player 1 layout. That's what I'm using. It's all on that site. Read the pages on there about differences between sticks and buttons. I'd actually recommend Japanese parts over American, but that's a whole other argument. |
