Lol, I know that problem...the playing makes work tough but it is so rewarding to have a few games...of course a few usually turns into a few hours...
Love the controller and wiring :)

Something to consider when building the UAII…
Placing a large monitor in the UAII cabinet puts the rear of the monitor very close to the outside of the cabinet… so close that the flyback transformer is easily within reach. It's sort of sticking out there saying "touch me". :o
The plan for this cabinet (probably most cabinets) is to sit against a wall… but nevertheless, I wanted to protect against accidental “fingerpoken”.
I cut out some triple-corrugated cardboard and slid in the rear of the cabinet… leaving some vent area on the sides. My monitor runs surprisingly cool. I was expecting a good amount of heat. Even after it’s on for a few hours, the fan at the top of the cabinet is still exhausting only slightly warm air. I don’t expect the cardboard to effect the cooling.

Even though it's not finished, the grandkids have had no problem figuring out how it works...

So did you wind up using the Mag Stick Plus joys? If so, how do you like them?
