So I wired up on control panel on my cocktail cabinet and fired up the pc to see if it worked. I'm using I-Pac and a mag-stik plus. Fire up the game, and everything is backwards, so I swap wires. Game works. Exit to windows and try to shut down, but in the drop-down menu the menu selection is scrollling as if an arrow key is pressed down. Did I wire the joystick to normal closed instead of normal open? Is that why it seemed to be wired backwards? I used the terminals farthest from the ground. |

Sounds to me like you've wired it to the wrong post |

Alrighty then.... now I need to double check my buttons -- they may be miswired too. Bummer, but better to know now. Thanks, dudes. |

My problem was that I kept wiring the directionals backwards, as in left was right, right was left and so on. I just didn't want to accept that even though you push the stuck to the right, it's hitting the left switch. :dizzy: But like Lew said, it sounds like you've got the wires on the NC instead of the NO. |

yeah, that should have tipped me off... I made SOOOO sure I had the directions right, that if they were reversed then the switches were wired wrong. I had ALL the switches wrong... don't know how I read them wrong. Everything is much better now. Thanks, everyone! |
