Console Control Panel

[Lilwolf]

Anyone come up with a good console control panel?  My daughter makes me play Zelda like 15 times a week (seriously.... I'm so !@#!@# sick of that game...)

Anyway, I have been playing it on my cabinet and it's doing great but the movement is not an analog controller.  This sucks for some things (and not a big deal for others).

Anyone find any good analog joysticks for sale?  Any good configurations for both N64 and PS?

thanks

I'm currenty making a bartop with a dreamcast for guts (damn dc games look good on a 14" vga monitor), and am planning to emulate the analog stick with my happs 8-way universal.  

DC controllers use hall effects sensors to determine the degree to which a control is pressed (the stick and both triggers); you can ground each sensor to receive the same as a full press.  Install a 4pdt switch, and you can flip between controlling the dc dpad and dc analog stick with your arcade joystick.

I'm pretty sure ps dual shock controllers use pots, but perhaps n64 controllers use hall effects sensors.

I'm emulating the consoles, so I just need to get an analog into a gameport.

So, I"m looking for good setups that allow me to easy access teh buttons for most games (like you have to be able to hit the 'z' and all the other buttons at the same time since most games require it)

Don't know what you're trying to do exactly, but if it's hook up a console controller to you mame cab, you should check out:

I have that one, it will take ps/ps2/n64 controllers. Works fine with emulators. They have a couple at that site worth checking out.
