Just starting my first cabinet build :-\, i've never done anything like this before and i need a bit (well...alot) of help reguarding my controls. And yes, i did search the the forum and site for info first :). Anyway......My cab's gonna contain my (MAME only) PC, PS2, and Xbox. And i need a way to hook them all up to my cabinets controls. Controller hacks look to difficult (i have pretty much no electrical skills whatsoever). I've considered buying an X-Arcade and a couple of console adapters, and fitting the x-arcades guts into my own control panel, replacing the buttons and joysticks with HAPP or Ultimarc ones. is this a good idea? Also can anyone recomend some good ball-top joysticks for fighting game useage thanks :) |

for a first cabinet, you are taking on one of the more difficult projects. Good luck though |
