Hey folks. I'm still looking for other suggestions to help me get this going! Anyone? d. |
| RetroACTIVE:
As far as ground is concerned, you should be fine. Most if not all logic level ground is the same for the entire system (especially when it comes to USB/PS2). I would say try it... it certainly won't hurt anything. Like any other control panel, all the ground leads are typically chained together anyway. Give it a shot... I would. |

I'm willing to give it a go.. but it would require a complete rewiring of my system. So, I'm hoping to avoid it if it's not going to work. What I don't understand is... Is what I'm suggesting completely out of the ordinary? What do most people do? I thought I was doing something pretty standard! Thanks! d. |

Thanks! d. --- End quote --- The majority of people that I know with Dreamcasts in a cab do not put additional systems or computer with MAME along side the Dreamcast. With that said you should be able to do what you are suggesting with a DB25 setup. I've got mine going along side a xbox, ps2, gamecube, and mame but I went the X-arcade BYOA kit and adapters to DB25 w/ a data switch box. So no disconnecting and swapping connectors and it works fine. I have some hacked DC controllers that I can probably use to test this out for you, but likely wouldnt get arround to testing it till Saturday. -Goz |

Don't spend too much time on it.. but, if you have some extra (time).. please, feel free! :) I'm a novice with this stuff... so rewiring my cabinet is going to take the better part of an entire weekend! :) Thanks! d. |
