| encoder to use for 4 player cab? |
| (1/3) > >> |
| Jimmy:
I have started build on my cab, everything seems to be going fairly smoothly. But i have been doing my research and im a little confused wiring the controls. Because ive counted something near 60 inputs needed. Im really worried about ghosting. Which encoder should i buy? I found threads on this in the faq, but none aswered my questions. |

What joysticks are you going to be using? If you are using 49-ways, then you will need to get one GP-Wiz 49 for each 49-way joystick you use. Each GP-Wiz 49 has 28 additional inputs, so you would have plenty. If you have no 49-way joysticks, then you have a couple of main stream "current technology" choices. There are more, but these are the two I would reccomend. 1.) If you absolutely have to have 60 inputs then you could get a KeyWiz and a GP-Wiz which would give you a total of 64 inputs. These two encoders come from Groovy Game Gear. 2.) If you can get by with 56 inputs (which I'm sure you can - just show us your layout), then the IPAC-4 from Ultimarc would suffice. |

8 ways, i think ive decided on p360s. 56 is actually what i came up with. Thats why i said nearly 60 player 1 6 buttons player 2 6 buttons player 3 4 buttons player 4 4 buttons 1-4 start 4 buttons 1-4 coin insert 4 buttons pause 1 button exit 1 button 4 joysticks 16 buttons ------------------------------ total 46 maybe a few more, i guess i added wrong when i came up with 56 |

Then either solution I listed above (Keywiz+GP-Wiz OR IPAC4) will work. |

wheres the bst place to buy thes from? |
