x-arcade and ipac?

While not perfect, that is not bad either. Sure beats going unplugging things and reconnecting things. I am going to have a search around to see if I can find something that might work better

this is true..is there a way to ground the connection when you switch? my only thing i could think of is maybe somthing like a gateway... you have the main serial going to an A/B switch... a = on , b = off. B is not hook to nothing (thus a reset)
while on b, you take your second switch with your various systems.
So while switch 1 is selected to B, you can change your systems A/B/C/D....
is this too much? does it lost connectivity with a second switch involved?
thank you... don't ask how i thought of that...

yeah I think that is a good solution. There is probably a way of doing it electronically but it would probably involve soldering a switch that would cut the power to the x-arcade. I think that if could have it so that only the dials would be visible it would be a really cool feature...otherwise you could just store the switch boxes near the consoles cause you are going to need to turn them on anyway.
If you haven't got one already you should pick up an electronic av switcher (scart box) so that when press power on the console the tv will switch to the active av channel

sounds like another project...
how do do the switch thingy with scart box?
example (radio shack?)

Seems like building a new custom CP would be easier than some of the X arcade mods talked about here.
