will also (prob) have 7 buttons per joystick plus 1 and 2 player start and 2 coin buttons on the L/R side of the cabinet. Also 1 or 2 admin buttons lurking around. Am I right in thinking I need either the Mini-PAC Opti. with Harness (p/n MP1) or the opti-pac? There's no other easy solution I am missing is there? Thanks |

Thanks --- End quote --- The SpinTrak and U-Trak both come in USB versions, in which case you wouldn't need an Opti-PAC. |

Thanks, wasn't sure. Can I have more than 16 buttons with just that though? I know less is more on this forum ;) but I think 18 plus 2 admin buttons would suit me. I know you can employ a shift function to double up and re-use the same buttons for different things but can you configure the 360's to use more than 16? Cheers edit - don't think you can on a re-read of the website. If I could make do with 6 per joystick 1/2 player start and 2 on the side to shift - that might work. |

If you're hooking up buttons to the U360 directly, yes, you are limited to 8 inputs (not including shifted functions) per stick. That includes the coin and start. If you want more than that, you will have to get a Mini-Pac, iPac or other keyboard encoder. --- Quote from: wilno45 on September 04, 2008, 07:15:35 pm ---don't think you can on a re-read of the website.

Instead of dedicated "shift" buttons, you can make the "START" or "COIN" a shift button. This way, you free up an input. Also you can make it so that when you hold down Start and Button 1, you get a credit. Not elegant IMO, but you can have 7 action buttons now without the need for an encoder. |

If you've got the Spin-trak and the U-trak, then I'd go with the mini-pac opti to limit the number of cables connecting your control panel to the PC. Connectivity is simple for the analog controls to the mini-pac. |
