4-way/8-way Happ Supers

<< < (2/2)

Jim Persoleo:
Thanks for the info guys. I saw quick disconnects on the Happ site and bought a few figuring they were compatible. But I realize I didn't get enuff and will hit up the shack tonite since they are cheaper.
I went with the non-switchable ones. But I decided to add a 4-way stick the the secondary control panel.

Putting together a 4-player panel with 8button each (mmm April 15th 56connect I-PAC) and then a secondary control panel with at least 1 trackball and spinner and now the 4-way stick with a few buttons.

Also thinking of coming up with a way to hack a Tron-like trigger stick to a regular stick. Maybe put a headphone jack-like thing in the panel and plug in the trigger and finding a stick that will fit over a Happ Competition stick.

Main Issue is currrently finding someone to help with cabinet design. It will have to support a 115lb 32" TV. Control Panels will be separate from the video. Alo thinking of a shelf w/ door for the VCR and maybe a little storage underneath. This all grew out of my need for a new TV and accessories + love of whupping butt in any MK games/NFL Blitz.

BASSOFeeSH:
Yup....I'm also waiting for the new Ipac!

It's been done.  Check it out http://www.oscarcontrols.com/projects/triggerstick.shtml

I used some 12 inch long strong aluminum tubing (13/32" diameter, I think) from a hobby shop instead of the nutdriver shaft, and an Interact RaiderPro translucent blue stick for the grip (not quite a Tron stick, but as close as you can get).  The nice thing is that the wires are concealed inside the shaft so everything looks professional.  I also put a nail thru the spacer around the shaft and cut a slot into the shaft-hole in the joystick base so that the stick won't rotate.  I can still pull the stick out and use a regular Super handle if I want.
