and by the way, dema, you will need something to switch inputs and video/sound. they will not be together in any solution you find, unless it involves some extensive hacking and or setting up.
so get one of these db25 switchs and a video switch from walmart and mount them to the bottom of you cp, all will be well. just my opinion of course.
i think i need one of these db25 switches!
orntar:
here is a four way since you wanted to switch more that 2 sources...

That's exactly the kind of thing I'm planning on getting. The last concern I had was how to go about hooking up two hacked XBox controllers using two different DB cables. If a higher-pinned cable is a solution by wiring the two to the same cable then that would be the route I'd take. Otherwise I'm not sure how to get two separate hacks into the same input channel with two different cables, since each port has its own channel.
I like the idea of wiring the switches below the CP. I was thinking of putting it somewhere on the cabinet but I wasn't sure where.
And who thinks this will get even more complicated if I try to install a rotating control panel? I want this thing pimped out.
orntar:
yes you would take *both* controllers and wire them to one male db25 connector, thats why there is so many pins. then you take your ipac and wire it to one male db25 and so on...
then wire the controls on your cab to a female db25 and swap em when you need to.
if you bought one of the switches i linked to , then it would be slightly different, but yuou could figure it out.
dema:
I'm hoping by plugging everything into the switch that I can keep the PC and the console running at the same time and then just flick the switch when I want to go from one to the other. I'd like to get it so I don't need to plug and unplug anything.
I'd probably need to get a bigger-pinned DB cable and switch box because the IPac has more controls than the 25 allotted in the DB 25. While I'd probably be able to fill everything up with a console controller hack, I need more for MAME
