not sure what you mean by that but the only thing needed is the dreamcast with the vga box #6 pin cut and put on a simple small on/off switch and then it would switch from vga to 15k and then runs to the monitor.
I just did not want to over due the amp if it could not take the 5volt input just in case the console threw it out 5 volt but I also assumed that since it is a vga box it would only throw out 1 volt but was not sure and if I was wrong I did not want to harm anything.

I was thinking of doing the same thing with my DC and cab. I have a Capcom vs. SNK fighting style joystick for the DC....classic joystick six button configuration, was considering just using the wire harness from that and connect it to my controls on the cab.....might work...and would be a simple fix. You can find them on Ebay.

alright I have my 25-pin A/B data switch's in and I now am wonderng do I make all the inputs the same on the 3 male plugs.
like does the control panel controls go to the input
1-25 left to right
then ipac output
1-25 left to right
then dc control output
1-25 left to right
or do i need to reverse the pins on the output like
control panel input
1-25 left to right
ipac output
1-25 right from left
dc controls right from left.
what I am asking is if all 3 inputs going into the data switch box should be the exact same or if I need to reverse the pinouts for the dc controls and ipac?
