Ideas for a YDKJ cab?
marcoval:
Well that solves that. My question is will there be any problems using my IPAC and a wireless keyboard at the same time?
Brad Lee:
None at all as long as you've got your ipac inputs mapped to whatever the game uses
I use a wireless keybd/mouse with an IPAC, and Ive tried every combination-
keyboard->ipac->ps2 port
keyboard->ipac->usb
keyboard->ps2, ipac->usb
All work fine..
Chris:
Have you seen those blue tanslucent roll-up flexible keyboards? You could mount one of these in the CP, folding away the function and cursor keys, leaving just the main part of the keyboard visible... you could even light it from below!

Hooray!
For the handbuzzers, I just used 1/2 PVC with endcabs and SPST momentary pushbuttons from Radio Shack. It is SO cool to have hand buzzers to buzz in. No matter what though, you will need to have a full keyboard, which is why I chose to not integrate it into the cabinet, but rather to have it as a free-standing piece.
Honestly, the YDKJ controllers got played more than the arcade cabinet did at our last party, so I would definitely recommend this project!
