Guut Boy:
thanks...I never thought so much of ultimarc before because they seemed sort of expensive compared to Happ and not very much better.  But if I can save a lot on shipping maybe that doesnt matter s

Ultimarc is fine, but maybe a little expensive. I live in Skandinavia. I had a lot problems with happ europe: online ordering does not work, prices were much higher than the dollar price in pounds and shipping cost was something like 40 dollars.

It was much cheaper to order from e-bay. There are couple of sellers selling Happ joysticks and buttons. For a packet of two joysticks (Happs super) and 12 buttons I had to pay $42 +  $13 shipping. Delivery time was 5 days.

Don't. I have tried hacking keyboard and pc pad. Then I bought I-PAC. It is really worth the money. And support from Ultimarc is great.

Good luck with your project.

I understand that people like the I-PAC, but what is it that's really wrong with keyboardhacks?...is it only that it takes a long time and is hard to do? Because I dont mind that.
rchadd:
ipac makes interfacing joysticks/buttons to PC easy - plug and play!

given the time it saves over making a keyboard hack it is a bargain - or even get the minipac and also get trackball support

also look at the tstick plus joysticks their 4/8way switchable

also agree with previous poster get a ArcadeVGA and SCART TV for an arcade perfect display

the service from andy at ultimarc is great
Grasshopper:
You should perhaps also consider buying parts directly from the manufacturers, two of which are based in Europe.
