  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Hey folks..

I was wondering if someone might have all the neccessary connectors that I need to hookup my DreamCast to my control panel?

Molex connectors, DB25s..  whichever.   I already have the hacked DC controllers.

I can seem to find a decent source around where I live.

Thanks guys.

David

If you have a Radioshack nearby the 12 pin Molex connectors they sell work great.

I can get cheap DB25 printer cables thats are very hackable and easy to solder.

I checked the local Radio Shack (The Source, I think it's called now)... And they only had one db25..  And that was -all- they had.  I can't stand Radio Shack..  They have some seriously useless sales people.. or, that's been my experience, at least.

Can you get solderless connectors?  (I think you can get a type that crimps, can't you?)
