Hacking X-Arcade

clonestar:

what did you have to re-program.  I have a player 1 joystick problem that is not consistant, it acts as if the numlock is being switched on and off.  Any suggestions?

Hippo:

The player one controls were set for the numpad direction keys and not the normal directional keys.

I changed to a different profile (switch on the back) and programmed all the buttons for mame use using the normal directional buttons for player one joystick.



clonestar:

Ok I solved the problems.

One warning about the X-Arcade PCB. There are various 5-pin connectors, and each of these contain 4 components and a ground. (Eg: P1 Up, Down, Left, Right, Ground).

This is fine if you want to wire the PCB directly to your control panel, and be done with it. However, you cannot use the ground wire from one group, with the signal from any other group (this results in interesting random results), which means you CANNOT build a panel with a single ground to all the controls - you have to do this in groups.

I am currently building a JAMMA-spec cabinet, that can support both original Arcade Game PCB's as well as MAME (via XBox), and I just ordered the JPac (and have to return my X-Arcade because it cannot do what I need).


clonestar:

Although that 4 components and a ground wouldn't be a problem if I was using cat5 cables to enable multiple cp's.

Hippo, I have programmed my x-arcade like yours but was wondering if you switch on the pc with the x-arcade in mode two do you still have to push the program button twice as this would be a bit of a pain.
