wich one is better the kade 2.0 or dual strike
I haven't worked with the dual strike.
oh wait so if i buy the kade 2.0 from bruno it doesnt come with the smaller board in the middle with the usb port ?
If/when Bruno re-stocks, it comes as shown -- a 32u4 AVR board (small board on top with USB) and the daughterboard. (large board on bottom with ethernet, Dupont pins, programming jumper, and screw terminals)
The daughterboard is convenient if you plan on swapping controller adapters via the ethernet connector, but the daughterboard is
not needed -- it's just convenient for hooking up controls/controllers without soldering.
problem for me is the shipping cost from brazil to the netherlands etc
If you don't plan to use the miniArcade 2.0 for a multi-system/multi-controller setup, you can save
lots of money by ordering a 32u4 AVR board and soldering some wires to through-holes on the AVR board to "roll your own".
If you have zero soldering skills, just order an Arduino Micro like
this one or
this one that comes with the pins already soldered, some Dupont jumpers, and a euro-style terminal strip for an easy no-solder setup.
If you want to save more money and don't mind reassigning a few ports in Mapper and soldering, you can use the very common
and inexpensive Arduino Pro Micro.
- 5 ports to reassign (XBox defaults not available on the Pro Micro): B7, C7, D6, F0, and F1
- 7 available ports to choose from (not used as XBox defaults): B1, B2, B3, D0, D1, D4, and F7
any resellers in the eu ?
There are no official resellers, but anyone can order the daughterboard PCBs from any PCB fabrication house.
- The Gerber (PCB fabrication) files are in "..\docs\gerbers\miniarcade2_gerber.zip".
- At the end of the User Guide PDF, there's a Bill of Materials for (and links to) any desired PCB parts like the ethernet connector, screw terminals, Dupont pins, etc.

EDIT:
do i need 2 of these for 2 players or just 1 for 2 players ?
For XBox, each AVR shows up as a single gamepad so you will need two AVRs for two players.
