Dreamcast and Mame cabinet

Miller:

Do you think the auto switch box would work?

ShoLouie:

I wouldn't take the chance on it, i was going to try a centronic 36 pin switch but i don't know if they are all seperate lines or not, since about 10 of the pins are grounds.  Otherwise the normal parallel port switch will do just fine.

moloch:

Just a quick thought is that if you can replace the switch in one of those boxes with a relay you can control it with a button from somewhere on the cabinet.

Miller:

Thats what i will have to do moloch if the auto option does not work but i am going to give the auto option a go first unless i hear a definate no it wont work off someone as its the ideal solution for my purposes.

ShoLouie:

The switch in these boxes are rotary switches, which would be very difficult to replace with relays.... you would acually need 25 relays to do it, a bit too many haha.  An electrical way of turn the rotary switch would be ideal if you want to use a button to switch the connection.
