G'Day
At the moment I'm using a printer switch box (paralell cable switch box) to switch between a Gamepad and a Keyboard.  This does the job OK but I need to do this for player 2 as well meaning a 2nd switch which is a pain.  You also have to be careful that the switch you buy switches all pin / wires, not just the ones require by a printer.  Not that the store usually has any idea?

Because of this I'm going to give the Control Circuit from http://www.russprince.com/cabinet/ a go...

Has anyone else tried this ??  If so do they some more detailed instructions on how to hook up the CMOS IC's ??

Cheers

Does your paralell switch box have any PCB inside ???
I later found that my 25pin printer switch box HAD a pcb and might have been only switching ground !  :-[.
It worked between psx and dreamcast but it was laggy..like I press something and it works after like atleast 2 second.

Thats how it went for me !
never bothered trying again...I now use molex connector and very happy. :)
even with switching manually(atleast it works).

Nope, No PCB,

I just use a manual switch, something like the "2 way D25 Computer Data Switch" @ www.jaycar.com.au

They are cheap and easy !
