I wish that there was a version of th Ipac that could be hooked up to multiple consoles easily....I know that you can hack gamepads but really that is just too much hassle, especially if you want to swap between 2 or 3 consoles quickly. |

I think that this way I will still be able to use it with the consoles. --- End quote --- I'm not sure if you can wire it up this way without problems. If it works, it sounds like a good idea, but I have my doubts . . . --- Quote ---The more I look at it the more it seems that I will have to do without the four way stik, atleast for now. --- End quote --- www.oscarcontrols.com used to sell a restrictor plate for the Competitions which would work well for you, then. |

I saw the article on oscarcontrols for the restrictor plates installed on a hotrod. It looks like a permament install...if I had only 2 fighter sticks then I would need it to come on and off really quickly. Also I could find it for sale on their website. |

I don't think they're currently available, but OSCAR might have some backstock. E-mail him about them. |

They are generally used for switching monitors? http://www.trianglecables.com/4waydb9mansw.html --- End quote --- i ask x-arcade about this... and here is there response The switch you are looking at doesn't work exactly as it should, I actually have tried that exact one. The problem is that there is no delay at all between switching, so the X-Arcade doesn't power off for a second to reset it self, thereby being stuck thinking it is still on the last system. You can kinda hold the switch in between two modes to make it switch off, then continue switching the rest of the way, but it is a pain because the spot in setween is hard to find (small). I am not aware of one that is easier to use though either. i am sad... anybody know a way around this? |
