J-Stick with X-Arcade USB upgrade kit

[Maccy]

Hi,

I'm a total newbie and sorry for my "engrish".

Due to a little misunderstanding (my fault) with X-Arcade guys I've bougth 2 of these (I only needed one):

http://www.xgaming.com/store/x-arcade-adapters/product/x-arcade-usb-adapter/

I already own an HotRodSE but I want do build, with the help of a friend of mine that is expert in woodwork, a smaller control panel. I wanted to use the x-arcade adapter with a J-Stick from Ultimarc. Before bothering Andy directly, does someone know if j-stick and the x-arcade adapter are "compatible"? In case they aren't, what I have to do to make them work together?

Thank you in advance.

It will work with any joystick that uses microswitches.

A switch is a switch is a switch, regardless of brand.

A lot of people swap out the joysticks in their x-arcade panels for better ones.

Ok, what I meant if harness like this (similar to the one found in x-arcade usb upgrade kit):

is directly pluggable in microswitches of Sanwa JLW.

My doubt is due to some photos of Seimitsu LS32 (I know, it's a different product) where I see a single cable coming out from the pcb

It uses the same .187" connectors as the x-arcade sticks.

Thank you very much.

The other thing to remember is that there are several models of LS-32.

The plain LS-32 uses regular microswitches.



The LS-32-01 and LS-32-02 use a different style of switch soldered to a PCB with a 5-pin connector.
