Encoder/ hotrod broken, options
gurnie:
Hello All.
About a year ago I had my arcade machine all hooked up, and I had it working fine, until my Hotrod joystick broke (nothing seems to imput. We can thank my roomate for knocking it over). Hotrod wanted to charge me 50-60 bucks, plus shipping to fix it. I said no way, it seems alittle much at the time (college student.) I'm looking for an NEW encoder thats customizable and affordable because I would still like to use my hotrod unit, just with a new encoder. I also have a budget I would like to keep it under $75 for a two player 6 button set-up). Is it possible wire the new encoder to the hotrod keys/joysticks? IS the I-pac an option? What other encoders are there out there?

I-Pac Ve is great, and you get free shipping

If memory serves me correct, hotrod se has 32 inputs, is this right? So the V.E. does make a great option. Do I have to rewire alot of the buttons?
