Hello, I am a Buckeye faithful and I am building a shrine to them(I'll also be able to play all my favorite games, tough sacrifice). Anyways, I have my control panel layed out for two players with eight way sticks and six buttons each. I have a 3" happ track ball, and six extra buttons. Nothing is wired yet, so I am wondering if I need a spinner, would I need both an Ipac and an Omnipac, or if I decided to try a keyboard hack, would the results be of the same quality if I did it right? Also, I am interested to have two additional controllers for four player action. Are there any suggestions on the best way to do this? I am a newbie, but I'm tryin'! ??? |

I also have a four way stick at the top of the control area. |

I've nearly spent blood, sweat, and tears trying to figure this out. There is an awesome site that covers *exactly* what you need depending on what games you're hoping to play. The gist is this: 32 inputs will support 95% of all games. 68 inputs is the magic number to support *everything*! The KeyWiz MAX supports 32 inputs and from everything I've read will work perfectly. The MiniPAC is pretty awesome as it has a built-in interface for the trackball, but it only has 28 inputs. Finally, I've settled on the I-PAC/4 which has 56 inputs and am going to use the HAPP trackball that comes with a USB interface. The holy grail is the Hangstrong somtin-somtin 72. It has 72 inputs and will support anything you throw at it. dot |

Thanks for the tips. I am just getting into the electronic end of things, so this could take a while. Do you think a keyboard hack and mouse hack is worthy of the efforts? |
