I'm going to start ordering parts tonite, hopefully I will be done by the first of august. and thanks for the heads up on divemaster and ponyboy, I was leaning toward just ordering the controls complete from slikstik

Question - will he want the high lip model of trackball?

Are you mounting this directly in the slikstik with no art above it?

Wicked:

I was just researching the art part, and i realized i need to do a few more days of legwork, there are so many choices, Im trying to get what works generaly out of the box with mame, but i was just in the BYOAC post and found the marquee site and that wasnt somethin i hadn't considered till i saw how reasonable they are. I think i will be putting art all the way around.

Well, the P360 is a (very nice) digital stick and the new Ultimarc is a digitally-mappable analog stick (the distinction is important, so be sure that you understand what the Ultrastik is about) that can also function as a digital stick. Unfortunately, with the relative newness of the Ultrastik 360 (it's been out what, a month?), I doubt that you're going to find a consensus yet.

For trackballs, I like both the Happs 3" and Betson 3". I've used the Happs PS2/USB interface with MAME without problem, although some folks have reported problems with it in the past.

As far as lightguns for PCs, I can't be of much help -- I only have Happs guns.

Cheers.

Cheffo which guns do you have, and how are they connected to your system?

Sorry -- should have been clearer -- I have "real" arcade guns connected to actual games (e.g. original boards).

I have no guns at the moment that interface with a PC ... been waiting for a good, authentic-feeling (no blow-dyers-from-space like ActLabs) solution. One of the few things from Ultracade that I was looking forward to was an arcade gun interface and driver, which sadly never materialized.

Cheers.
