4-way/8-way Happ Supers
Jim Persoleo:
How do you switch between the 2 modes?
Easy way to wire something up to a toggle switch?
Just don't want to be cracking open the panel everytime I want to play a 4-way game.
Also anyone know the Radio Shack alternative for the Fry's female crimp-connects that Webb used in his cab? http://www.webbpickersgill.com/mame/
Something that you know fits the Happ pushbuttons and sticks?
No Fry's in my area and the online version has nothing close.

Switching is accomplished via turning over the actuator on the underside of the joystick. Yes, you'll have to open your cp to do this.
You want .187" quick-diconnects, I think. I've heard Radio Shack sells them, among others
Jim Persole:
Quickdisconnects were my first thought but I'm not sure if the female ends fit on the Happ stuff.
If so I'd still be wasting all the male ends unless you can get all-female or all-male boxes of 'em.
Must avoid soldering if at all possible.
Not sure if I'm more afraid of what I might do to my I-PAC / Opti-Pac or my cats =)
1UP:
Definitely not a quick switchover. You have to open your CP, pry the e-ring off the bottom of the stick, remove the actuator, flip it over, force the e-ring back on. :P You'll want to add a dedicated 4-way to your CP somewhere. Trust me, it seems unnecessary at first, but after you get your controls hooked up, you'll understand why. Most put it between the two 8-ways, or on a separate CP.
The .187 disconnects fit exactly. They are usually available in all female packages. I picked up 100 of them from http://www.therealbobroberts.com with my control order. Used every one of them (with a few mistakes here and there.) You definitely don't want to be soldering your connections, much slower and messier to fix wiring problems!
JustMichael:
It is the female ones you want. You can go to http://www.radioshack.com and type 910-1775 into the search box to get to the fully insulated ones.
