Dreamcast Pad Analog hack!!!

Pages: (1/1)

cleric:

Hi,

I Have 2 original sega dreamcast pad. I want to hack for the arcade cabinet. ;D


I check this site
http://www.mameworld.net/pc2jamma/arc_dc4.html


This all nice, but it appear that ANALOG stick is not mention is this hack.


So i ask, is possible to have a analog stick hack, for the arcade joysticks ??

Because some games only plays on Analog way, like Virtua Striker and some more games... :|

Give me some advise please.. ???

Hoe:

I havn't actualy tried this my self, so this is a guess.
The analog stick uses HEDs, too, 4 of them. I assume one per direction, just solder to them like the side recommends you solder to the analog shoulder trigger's HEDs.

cleric:

I have read some post from ppl that have a DC on the arcade cabinet.
Can u explain if this is possible ??

Lilwolf:

I've been hoping for one, and trying to read peoples replies when I see them for a future project...

But I believe the current thing is that they are VERY easy to hack into a digital joystick since the DC analog controllers are shorted when fully moving in a direction.

But there isn't currently any good solution for hacking a real analog arcade joystick  into a DC analog.  

But people need to start hacking the weird DC controllers out there and find out if any use standard pots!  

SirPoonga:

The people who put the DC in a cabinet do it for the arcade ports of games.  And most arcade games don't use an analog stick.  I plan on putting a dc in my cabinet just for the lightgun :)
