Kaytrim:

You might not have a problem then with the U360s.  I have read on some threads that if you have more than one U360 they could have a different assignment after a reboot.  in other words the player 1 joy would become player 2 and vise versa.  With both of them plugged into the MB and not using a hub you should have no problem as long as you don't move the plugs around.  I know that Andy is trying to fix this but it only happens rarely.

You will need to connect the MagStick to the KeyWiz.  The player action buttons can be connected to the U360 for that player and your admin buttons can be connected to the keywiz.  The Opti-Wiz also has connections for up to 3 buttons so that is an option as well.  These would be recognized by the computer as mouse buttons and can be mapped in MAME.

Your assumptions on the LEDWiz are correct.  There is a connection point on the LEDWiz to accept an external +5V feed.  You can have multiple LEDWiz boards just make sure when you order to get two different device numbers so there is no conflict.

I would strongly suggest that you piggyback the spinner onto the trackball's opti-wiz.  You can put it on the Z axis.  That will free up a USB port for the second LEDWiz board.

With all that said I'd say that you are ready to go, unless you want to wait for Randy and his new sticks.  ;)

so the spinner would need to be the following...?
- slave
- ps/2
- device 1

and i've been waiting...but my cab has been on hold since february...i think i'm just going to snag the u360s...-=\


Chris G:

You still haven't ordered this stuff???  Man, you're worse than me...  :)

Not to contradict GGG Master Kaytrim, but back when I was asking these questions, Randy said he did not suggest going the slave spinner route if it could be avoided.  I believe he basically said the same thing above.  You can always buy another USB card if you need more slots.

ok...so here is what i have in my cart as of this moment...

does everything look good...?

no incompatibilities or conflicts right...?
