Agreed- with those you can interface anything.
I will add:
* You will probably want an Ipac4, since you'll be wanting a lot of inputs from your keyboard encoder.
* 1 Opti-Pac should do, unless you can find a reason to use more than 4 optical axes at once.
* You'll probably need multiple SJCs, since each one only interfaces 1 49-way stick.
* I think 1 AKI is enough, unless there's a game I'm not thinking of that would requre more than 5 analog axes at one time.
* 1 Druin should do, as I don't think any games use more than 2 rotary sticks.
You say you've already done this on your Joust cab? Got any pictures or a web site? I'd like to see how you set it up.
Kremmit:
Oops- I just re-read your earlier post.. you said you only need single player mode. So, ignore the above. ::)
If you really only need one player, then you will only need one SJC. Also probably won't need to get an I-Pac4; a standard I-Pac2 or Keywiz would be fine. In fact, you could probably replace both the Opti-Pac and the I-Pac/Keywiz with the Mini-Pac, and save some $$.

I still don't think anyone understands.
I'll guess I'll have to just start by hacking a Sidewinder, an Advanced Gravis Analog Joystick(unless I can find an analog with more buttons), and a mouse to see how many games I can cover.
Thanks anyway.

Dude.
I gotta see the controller that will play "any" MAME game with authentic controls and arcade feel.
Be sure you work in the little springy passing sticks for Quarterback!
paigeoliver:
If no one understands why don't you spell it out more clearly?
Do you want to see if you can do it all with hacks and not use any real interfaces?
Well in that case say goodbye to the 49-ways.
