Not sure what your time frame is, but check out the howler arcade controller. It has all functions of your 3 controller boards combined into one board. Ships March 2014. I'd search ebay for a deal on a real 4-player coin door. You can always just leave the lower door unlocked or some thing so players can retrieve their coins, use a coin button, or rig the reject coins to simulate a coin drop. http://www.wolfwareeng.com/ |

Thanks for the tip! The question is, if the Howler only uses 26 buttons, and I planned on 36 buttons, would I be able to use an IPAC for additional buttons? I'm assuming it shouldn't e a problem. Another question I have for the board is USB ports. Most of the controllers and boards I want are USB based, so I assume I would need powered hubs. Is there a limit on how many USB hubs a computer can handle? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Two things to strongly consider adding to your GGG order: PCB Standoffs and Joystick Mounting Kits. ;D Scott |

Thanks Scott. I read somewhere that bolts through the MDF are sturdier than mounting underneath. I would imagine that after repeated use over time the MDF would start to wear and rip out the screws underneath, as opposed to carriage bolts through from above. Thoughts?
