DC in a arcade cabinet
« on: February 08, 2003, 04:19:25 pm »
Hi I have a cocktail cabinet with a ipac interfacing to a pc

now I would quite like to share the controls to a dreamcast is it possible via a connector of some sort to have a quick plug into ipac or dc set of controls if that makes sense

ie all controls goto a junction that you then plug in being whether you want the dc or ipac

next thing is it possible to replace the dc cd drive with a atapi style one (even replace the pc internals with the gd rom or use cdr rips of games) so that it can be possible to have a tray mechanism to load the games in with

There have been a whole bunch of threads recently on DC controls with ipacs. The consensus is the best solution is to use a quick connect to plug in one interface at a time.
My statements are my own opinions. They have the value that the reader gives them. My opinion of my opinion varies between foolish and brilliant and these opinions often change with new information.
