I don't have a functioning website at this time, probably won't for a while to come with my current work pace.
So, I figured that this would be the place to show off my three latest projects.
One's a keyboard hack, & the other two are both gamepad hacks (gravis gamepad & GP Pro USB).
The small one may be my favorite - it uses a leaf switch stick & buttons - reminds me of the good old days.
For the keyboard pcb hack, I keep a home built keyboard splitter on my PC at all times so I just plug the 2 player control panel KB lead into the splitter when I wish to use it.
I've carefully selected the button inputs to eliminate key ghosting/blocking for all but the #6 fire button on the player 2 side.
I have a USB hub, Gameport 15 pin extension & PS2 extension all under my monitor for quick plug-ins.
Some of my other projects based on conversion of original arcade control panels have been showcased on Noel's site at:
http://mamecheats.fateback.com/best.htmThe TRON panel that he refers to is still "in-work".
It's fully functional but I need to build the base for it & swap or modify the trigger stick (has an 8way Zaxxon stick instead of a 4way TRON one).
Anyway here are the latest 3 creations humbly submitted for your approval.
They are shown here hanging from the wall beside one of my desks - this keeps them out of my wife's way & keeps me out of trouble
