How to connect multiple pcbs to one stick?
Hellfromabove:
Hey guys I was just wondering, is there a way to connect multiple pcbs to one arcade stick? I mean without the use of parallel ports and things like that. I mean on Cd_Vision's site he says you could use Terminal Strips but does it really work? Also are there any other ways that don't require connecting and disconnecting, like Barrier Strips? Please reply. Thanx.
-See Ya!!!

The PCBs will interfere with each other if they're all connected to the same controls. You need to rig up some sort of switch to change between them. Here's a good site on building an electronic switch to change between controls: http://www.russprince.com/cabinet/

Someone in chat posted a link to a thing that you could hook up like 10 jamma connectors to and a menu would select between the games. I have it bookmarked, but my bookmark list is huge, will have to see if I can find it.

i would also appreciate any help on this topic. hellfromabove, when you say pcbs, do you mean like multiple gamepads from diff. systems?

PCB=Printed circuit board
as for the topic..didnt we already go over this last year..
I used a switch box and didnt work..tom61:remember?
However,I think tom had a point when he said "my switch box might have been ONLY switching the ground and not everything".
Now I wish I had the energy to go over this again...anyone else wanna try a true switch box..like a 15pin vga ;D
