  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
I'm thinking of building a CP with two spinners that can also be used for top down racing games etc, I want it to be a basic panel that I can place over my Astro City CP and plug into USB on my PC, then just lift off when I'm finished to play the standard original joystick CP.

What concerns me is that I have read how XP doesn't recognise two mice at the same time and I have tested plugging two mice into my XP-64 with Groovymame cab and they both control the same pointer.

So does buying the Master and Slave Turbo Twist2 fix this issue so that they both plug into USB and can be used for separate inputs? Is this easy to configure in MAME and supported by all MAME versions?

Has anyone done this and can offer some experienced advice?

The encoder board allows up to 3 Turbo Twist 2's.  Wire one to the X-axis and wire the other (slave) to the Y-Axis. You'll have no problem mapping them in MAME.
