How do I hook up a World Series Baseball Controls?

Hello

I just acquired a World Series Control Panel.  And I'm wondering if anyone has hooked up the Pitching & Batting controls to their panel?  If so, how does one do it?  As I'm not sure how I go about adding these 2 joysticks.  

As it appears the 2 joysticks go through a Interface board under the panel and then plug in directly to PCB.  So even a wiring diagram would be a good start.  

Thanks!

I have them hooked up to my panel.  Each spring-loaded joystick consists of 2 5k pots.  I simply used 1UP's Microsoft Dual Strike hack to wire them up, and they worked great in Mame.

I worked with the wires that come out of the joysticks themselves, so the PCB on the control panel is not involved.

Either hack 2 Sidewinder's, or buy the new analog joystick interface card:

If you need some more detailed information, ask and I will whip something up.  It was a piece of cake, it was inexpensive, and it's really cool.  Have fun!

Hey

Thanks for the reply.  I actually have some Sidewinders that I could use.  I assume you had to use 2 sidewinders, one for the batting and one for the pitching?

Could you provide a wiring diagram?

Thanks!!

I did exactly like in 1UP's diagram.  Each controller has one "up/down" pot and one "left/right" pot, so you only need to wire up the 2 red, 2 white, and 2 black wires (those are the colors in the diagram, not on the actual controller) from the Dual Strike circuit board to the pots on the baseball joysticks:
