--- Quote from: unclet on June 17, 2003, 07:38:42 pm ---I wired a bunch of arcade controls which used 5K pots to Microsoft Sidewinder Dual Strike USB gamepads using 1Up's Star Wars yoke hack design. You can use this hack to connect anything to USB. I simply plug the controllers into a USB hub and connect the hub up to my computer (at least this is the idea...still building my cab, but completed hacking all my gamepads). PS: The gamepads themselves use 5K pots, so no need tyo try to replace 5K pots with 100K pots to use in the gameport. Also, the gameport is becoming obsolete and replaced by USB, so it made more sense to me to go the USB route. I actually started looking at the wiring gameport website mentioned above and was about to start but 1Up convienced me to try his hack. I connected a Star Wars yoke, Spy Hunter steering wheel, Sega HAngOn motorcycle steering assembly, and 2 sets of gas/brake pedal assemblies (one will be wired for single-axis and the other wired for dual axis). Good luck... UncleT --- End quote --- Did you hack 5 dual Strikes, or are you using some kind of disconnect between the DS and the controls? |

I actually hacked 6 Dual Strikes because I am also connecting 2 Virtual-On joysticks to my driving cab too which I forgot to mention previously. This was so I can play normal joystick games as well... I did not want to be just limited to driving games on my "Driving cab" since if I am going to go through all of this trouble making this cab then it should do everything...almost (ie: it will not have a trackball or spinner....you will just need to use my standup 4-player Mame cabinet for those games...) Also, I should mention that 1Up's Star Wars yoke hack site (http://www.1uparcade.com/project-swyoke.html) explains the wires required to be hacked (Left, Up, Down, Right from the directional pad) to connect a Star Wars yoke. Since I was adding many other type arcade controllers in my cabinet with many switches, I decided to go ahead and hack the A/B/C/D/X/Y buttons and Left/Right trigger buttons as well. This gives me 8 more "buttons/switches" per gamepad (ie: x6) to use for cabinet to connect stuff to. Basically, I have 4 different types of shifters (4speed, 3speed turbo, 2 speed return to center turbo, 2-speed non-return to center with turbo) and also some of the controllers have buttons on them as well (ie: Spy Hunter, Virtual On joysticks, etc...) which need to be connected. PS: I know the shifters are a bit overkill, but it will look cool! Oh yeah, I have also left space to eventually allow me to play my XBox games on my driving cabinet (ie: using a XBox steering wheel/pedals like a MadCatz MC2 Universal or something like this). Should be great...since XBox has a lot of fun driving games. Especially my kids will like it as well. |
