| Convert old SNES Arcade Controller to Mame? |

Hey all, Recently was cleaning out a closet and pulled out my old SNES. With it I found two arcade controllers I had purchased when SF2 first came out for the SNES. Was able to find them after searching on google fo a bit...: From what I remember these said at the time that they used real arcade parts, but being about 13, they just looked awesome and I wanted them instead of the joypads :D Anyone ever gutted these? I'm curious if I was to get myself an ipac, if I could transfer both of them into a new 2 player controller for mame. Seems they have enough buttons for my needs. Joystick, 6 buttons and a start and select. Start can stay start and select can be for credits. Anyone know if it could be done, before I crack em open for no reason? Not like I really plan on hooking up the snes anyways.... ;) Also, for this setup (just simple two players) whats best, Ipac or mini? I've been trying to gather up info, but my cabinet now just has a quad from slikstik on it, so this would be my first time making my own (from existing pieces) :) Appreciate any info! Thanks |

could you use one of these? http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?productID=118 |

I was about to post something similar. Yeah, no need to hack anything (as a matter of fact, I'd leave it as is). Use the adapter Boris pointed out. |

I'm interested in getting some USB cables to use some of my old gamepads on my cabinet, but does anyone know of a place where they're cheaper than $22? I remember Lik-Sang used to have some for less (even with shipping), but they're out of business now. |

Pretty cool, thanks! Anyone have any experience with these? I'm curious as to how it assigns the buttons. Will it show up as a joystick, and if so, will that work for me with mame? I'm only use to dealing with mame where the joysticks and buttons are emulating keyboard strokes. Thanks. |
