Hey all. I just ordered a dreamcast vga cable and I am juiced to hook it up to my JPAC but I wanted to make an arcade stick for it (or rather a 4 player arcade pedestal) that has analog sticks for use with power stone and zombie revenge. would there be a way to hook up an analog arcade stick to the dreamcast controller's analog joystick pins?
Use the
KADE miniArcade 2.0 to output as
Playstation1/Playstation2 (see RJ-45 to PS1/PS2 cable pinout on pg 7 of the User Guide) with a 3rd party Playstation to Dreamcast
converter.
You will need to reassign a few ports using the Mapper software, but that isn't difficult.
You should be able to build the whole interface with the following:
- Soldering iron and wire strippers
- 32u4 AVR board (you can solder directly to the AVR board, no need for the daughterboard or RJ-45 connector)
- Wire
- Analog (potentiometer) stick(s)
- Microswitch joystick (for D-pad) and buttons
- Playstation cable with male connector
- 3rd party Playstation to Dreamcast converterScott
EDIT: To be clear, you will need a separate AVR board for each player controller.
4 players with analog sticks ==> 4 AVRs
EDIT2: Native Dreamcast output support added to miniArcade 2.0.
