MAME, DC, PS2, all-in-one cabinet.... my planned attempt
Lilwolf:
Nope... its basing the 'auto' on information being sent... from the multi -> one. The multi will probably be the joysticks... and no power comes from that direction.
Also... printers doen't use all 25 pins. So the smarter the box... the better chance some are not sent throught.

might want to try some tests on the switchers though...i think i remember that snaaake said that there was definate slowness caused by a d25 switcher he was using.

Actually no the multi represents the DC controls/ps2/or whatever and the IPAC board
take a look at the diagram, the single goes to the joystick. So would the auto work now possibly? I might be one off ebay cheap and try it out.

if i were you (and i did something very similar - just without the switch boxes and 1 ipac4), i would have the first switch control players 1&2, and the second control 3&4. so most of the time you only use 1 knob to change systems.
why are you planning on using 2 ipacs anyways?

Hey that is just a example pic i took from someone's page, i plan to have a 4 player control panel for mame. I will also connect 2 dreamcast controls (just 2) using one 2-1 switch box. My prolem is I dont want to have to open the control panel to turn the knob. and i dont want to mount that ugly knob in the front of my control panel. The auto switch would have been great as I wouln't have to turn any knobs or oben the control panel. Is there anyway to open the switch box and somehow connect the knob's conenctor to a pushbutton? or something like that
