Wiring a Single Arcade Controller to Two Devices
« on: November 12, 2012, 09:27:28 pm »
Hi all,

I have an arcade motorcycle which I just interfaced to a Microsoft Dual Strike so I play PC motorcycle games. I twisted the Dual Strike wires to the existing arcade wires. The bike has two pots and 3 buttons (2 w/bulbs). I was wondering if it would be okay to connect the bike to both the original arcade game and the PC simultaneously, although I would not power up both at the same time. Would this cause any problems for the PC or arcade?

Sorry if this a dumb question...thank you!
