hi to all on byoac A question from a newb. Having looked across this site i now have a serious need to build a desktop control panel(not told the missus yet lol). Anyway here is my starting plans ,any help would be much appreciated 2 4/8 way switchable joysticks or 2 8 way + 1 4 way with or without top button??? 2 player both 7 buttons trackball/mouse 2 buttons p1 p2 buttons 2 credit buttons escape/tab buttons spinner (+ extra buttons ???) #maybe side pinmame buttons Can i have 1 encoder eg ipac/keywiz to run all these inputs or will i need a seperate device for the spinner/trackball ------------------------------ constructive criticism welcome |

You can use an Opti-Pac from Ultimarc to hook up the spinner and trackball. It can accept 4 input Optical devices. You probrably can do away with all buttons other than the 7 each for P1 and P2 and P1 and P2 start buttons if you use the I-Pac as you can have use the Shift function to access most admin buttons you'll need. You can also have the P1 Buttons 1 2 and 3 buttons be used as Trackball buttons by conecting these buttons to both the I-Pac and the Opti-Pac... Have fun... |

I agree. It is... (<- dramatic pause) a sickness. Somewhat contagious. No cure I know of, except one. Build. I built a desktop. It worked great. But it only curbed the appitite for a while. Then the desease really hits. Yes go to bed early... visions of cabinets danced in their heads. |
