I tend to aggree with your kids. However, like most of us here, your wife's opinion probably applies a little as well.  ;)

Thats the website I was looking for....

Do you have any details on how you wired everything up?  Also, can you give me a brief rundown of what game uses all the shifters you purchased?


As I would love to build a copy of what you have... And my wife thinks I'm crazy too.  :D

Quick note about Daves analog->digital board.

Its really nice.  It handles 5 axis (so 2 T2 guns, or a starwars and an analog pedal (for hydra) ect).  Mame works GREAT with configuring them (so one controller for multiple controls works great).

It uses screw in terminals that are very easy.  And has 14 buttons to boot.  

the trouble... I'm not sure when the release date is.  I know there is one more round of beta chips... And hopefully that will be it.

Anyway... I have a dual strike controller... and have all my controls wired so I can plug them in back and forth between them.  The don't think the dual strike will be used at all.  The other is just too nice.

where can I read up about this interface??

I went to 1up's site (http://www.1uparcade.com/projects-dualstrike.html) and read his description of how to hack a MS Dual Strike controller to connect a Star Wars yoke.  This site shows how to hack to the directional pad  (Up, Down, Left, Right), Left Pot and Right Pot since this is all the inputs you need for a Star Wars yoke.    However, I wanted to utilize all of the other buttons available on a MS Dual Strike gamepad (ie: A, B, C, D, X, Y, LeftTrigger and RightTrigger) so I hacked these as well.   I have pictures of the actual Dual Strike connections and solder points at my site http://unclet.arcadecontrols.com   ...... just go into the driving cabinet section, click on Dual Strike Hack and then click Dual Strike Hack Photos.   Hope this helps.....


As for the shifters, I really do not have a game mapping yet.   I just realized that there are basically 4 different kinds of shifters, so I got one of each......

1) 4-way shifter
2) 3-way shifter with turbo button
3) 2-way (Forward/Reverse) "return-to-center" shifter with turbo button
4) 2-way (Low/High) shifter "non-return-to-center" shifter with turbo button


About 4 weeks after I got my cabinet complete, my TV died and I just only got around to getting it fixed, so I have not even played that many games on it yet...... although Star Wars and Spy Hunter are very cool.....
