To be honest, most of the reading I have done has been using hte method I am doing above. I guess the reason I didn't take advantage of the JAMMA cabinet is because I'm not too familiar with it, and from what I understood it had its limitations. I am loking for more joystick feedback though to go off of what was said above. Again, I am looking for a good 8-way/4-way combo. Are the above mentioned good solutions? |

Also, after reading about the Mini-pac I think I am going to go that route.. what spinners do you recommend that would work with this device? Also, since I want to eliminate the need for a keyboard.. what kind of additional buttons am I looking at? two mouse buttons for the trackball, paus/exit button? anything else? |

Okay after your replies and further reading, I have decided to go with: (1) Mini-PAC Opti. With Harness (p/n MP1) for hte interface (2) UltraStick 360s. Will these work with the mini-pac, I noticed they are USB AND can take buttons hooked up to them as well but it would be limited to the games I could play. I'm wondering if it would make sense/if it is possible to still hook this through the Mini-Pac. (1) Happ's 3" Trackball (1) Slickstick spinner Buttons: 6 for each player, 2 for mouse buttons, 2 for P1start/credit Note: I do NOT want to keep a keyboard in the cabinet, do I need more buttons that what I am planning on doing already? Thanks! Also: if someone could comment on the tutorial posted above for converting arcade monitor to VGA. I'm looking for feedback if that is the best way to go/ or if it will work. Thanks again guys. |

The UltraSticks are best used plugged into the USB ports and not the mini-pac. You can connect your 6 buttons per player to the UltraStick for that player. You will need to add a pause and exit buttons on the CP and they can be connected to the mini-pac. As far as your arcade monitor I would recommend you get Ultimarc's Arcade VGA card. This is the safest way to connect an arcade monitor to your PC. TTFN :cheers: Kaytrim |

Thanks for the fast reply. By using the USB hookup on the UltraStiks, am I limited compatability in any way? Also, does the ArcadeVGA replace my existing video card? I would like to play some of the newer games and the video card in my computer should be able to handle that. i.e: Golden Tee |
