PS2 AND DC

Shieldwolf:
I know there has been a lot of talk on the threads about connecting a dc to your control panel, but could connect your ps2, dc, and pc all to the same set of controls? I have no skills at this stuff so it's more of a question of curiosity.

Frostillicus:
I wouldn't see why not .  If you want them all hooked up at the same time, I'm sure the diode method would work for the P-S2 as well as the DC.

I just have the DC and PC hooked up but the diode method works flawlessly.

SNAAAKE:
Converter would be easier.
IF you do diode method then I-pac for pc then  2 ps hacked pad for ps2 and 2 others for dc.

now converter would be a lot easier.
just hack 2 ps pads and use for ps2,dreamcast using converter,and pc using converter as well.

This is the "easier" solution imo. :)

Shieldwolf:
Two things:
1 I'm usigg a hangstrom encoder not an ipac, but that shouldn't really matter.

2 Could you explain the converter a little more snake.

jr76:
I'm currently building a panel to use with Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox.
I'm basing it on these plans
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jdpyle1/arcade_sticks.htm but am changing a few things. Instead of using different project boxes for each console, I'm using a parallel printing switch for each player. They are four-way switches so once I complete this, players will be able to select Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox/Mame. I don't think I'll have to worry about diodes with this setup.
