This is a RetroPi based MAME cabinet. Here's the rundown on my control panel:
Track ball
Spinner
2 4/8-way joysticks
8 buttons
4 admin buttons (12 buttons total).
First question: I am looking at using Ultimarc's Mag-Stik Plus, with the Ball-Top handle. It converts from 4-way to 8-way by pulling up on the stick, and rotating. But, it costs within a few dollars of the UltraStik. The UltraStik has lots of capability that I don't really think I need.
Details:
1) The Mag-Stik Plus does everything I want.
2) Not sure if I can run the UltraStik with Raspberry Pi.
3) If using the Ultrastik, it can connect the buttons, but not the spinner and trackball.
So, I'm leaning toward the Mag-Stik Plus, and I am wondering if there's something I'm missing?
Second question: I am pretty sure that if I use the IPAC2 that it can handle the inputs for everything I've listed. Do you guys agree?
Thanks!
