Is there a way to wire a joystick so . . .

The_Roker:

a button has the identical function as another, for instance:


  X  Y  L
  A  B  R
L

I'm trying to devise a setup so I will be able to use a joystick (X-Arcade) with my ported Neo games, in essence making up for the lost button by transferring an identical L button, while also retaining the Capcom setup.

kspiff:

Wire the connection from the NO tab for both buttons into the same spot on your encoder.

armad1ll0:

yup, just wire one to the other's contacts.
Simple right? imagine it as a the grounds go to both and the positive is split to a Y and goes to both "L" buttons.

So they both have to have the same ground?

And the same wire for the other contact?

That's right.  That way either switch can close the circuit and send the keystroke to the encoder.
