Hi everyone,
I recently purchased an NFL Blitz 99 4-player showcase cabinet arcade. The arcade is in near mint condition, so obviously I am gutting the original PCB and converting it to a MAME cabinet.
I am using the GP-Wiz49 for the controllers and they will be sufficient for MAME. However, I was asked by my daughter if she could play her Xbox and Playstation 2 games on the new arcade.
Obviously I could use the original controls and just share the nice 36" monitor, but I would really like to use the control panel and the original controls. I have no qualms about hacking up the Xbox or PS2 controllers, but I am not sure how to interface the 49-way joysticks to the analog controllers.
I know that I should just use the digital pad for the interface, but I would like some analog control, even if it is a crude 7X7 array.
Anyone who could offer me some insight on what to solder to what would be my new best friend.
Thanks,
Jeff
Also, if anyone is interested in a perfectly working NFL Blitz 99 motherboard, hard drive, marquee and CP Overlay let me know.
