The only functional difference between our solutions is that mine has the one GP-Wiz contained in a box that is external to BOTH CPs. The GP-49s are in the 1st CP, just like your plan. That allows both CPs to do stand-alone, just like your plan. It also allows piggy-backing, and will allow for future expansion should it be desired down the road. If the 2nd CP can piggy-back into the 1st, the GP interface box could be used on a 3rd CP to drive a 4-way classic CP, a Space Duel CP, etc... |

You're idea is more cost-effective, but when it comes right down to it, I'd probably buy additional GP-Wiz's for the 4-way classic CP, Space Duel CP, etc., for basically no other reason than I prefer a cord from the CP into a USB port, rather than a HD cable into an Interface box. This would then allow all 4 panels to be used separately or together for true Frankenpaneldom! |

As it stands, if I plug in my analog pedals (Logitech hack), and then my Star Wars Yoke (AKI), the Pedals register as Joy1, and the yoke as Joy2. If I plug in the yoke 1st, it registers as Joy1, and the pedals end up as Joy3, due to the AKI containing two joystick connections. This can be overcome to some extent by connecting things in a set order, but still shows up from time to time on me. Throwing the SJC into the mix just complicates matters. |
