Gamecube stick project
armad1ll0:
I just got offered a broken wavebird for a couple of bucks. I'm going to buld a stick from a wavebird now. Cool.

Let me know how the L & R triggers go, and what's needed to make em digital.
Babs:
Heh, after more hours of thought and planning I'm going down a differnet route.
I'm gonna build a 2-player CP with PS2 pad guts, and get the decent PS2>GC pad adaptors (some only work if analog sticks are detected, useless for my project). I've recently caught up on some old 2D beat-em-ups for my PS2 and this'll be perfect that those, Soul Calibur 2 on GC (pad doesnt cut it), Ikaruga and others. Plus, I'll have nice easy L/R solders, rather than the headache of analog.
If anyone cares, I'm going to start building this week - it's my first attempt and I've never wielded an iron before :) should be fun. I'll document and update too.

PS2 pad? those buttons are analog too. Myself I'm just going to use a couple cheapo PS1 pads and if I wanna use my GC or my friends XBox in my cabinet I'll just pick up some PSX->GC or XBox convertors. I have a PSX->PC usb convertor and I love it. Nothing beats the psx pad :)
My 1st cabinet which I'm starting now, long time comming, is going to be for fighting games, primarly SC2, shooting games, primarly TC3, and DDR!!! YAH!!
Plan on doing competition 8 way stick, 8 competition buttons, 4 top, 4 bottom, 2 select button on front, and leaning towards 2 rectagle illuminated start buttons ;D
Also if I do want to play PC games with my CP, no plans atm however, I can use psx->usb convertors. Anyone know if I can do this with mame? if not it's not a big deal.

Mame probably supports more kinds of inputs than any other PC Application known to man. If windows sees it as a joystick then it will work with Mame.
