Street Fighter 4 conversion
Namco:
Okay so it's all done now. I have my switchbox mounted into the inside of the cabinet for easy access from the coin door.
So far the only switch wired is the DPDT toggle for the powerstrip relay. In the future I'll add a XBox Live/ general audio headphone jack to the slanted underside area of the control panel and 4PDT switch to the switchbox.
Here's a picture of the inside of the cabinet cleaned up. The subwoofer on the computer sounds just as good as when I had it on the floor of the cab. I'm not worried about the magnet gauss messing up my hard drive or monitor. The box is far enough from those components and hard drives nowadays aren't really effected by magnetic fields like they used to be.

And here you go Gatsu, here's a video of me playing the finished product and even some footage of me getting my frist wins in multiplayer, Ultra combo even! :applaud:
Gatsu:
O_O WOW.... *drools*
I do have to say one thing though...I had the same idea for my cab using the D-25's to swap out different control panels. In this case it'd be 1 cp for happ....1 cp for sanwa.
That is an awesome setup. I hope I can get the wiring right in mine. lol.

Looks like the crimp/pin DB25's are not so bad. I did not trust them so the last 2 projects I did I used the kind you solder too. I was afraid the pins would move around side to side in the crip/pin type like cheap molex adapters on a pc do. I also just thought it would be a safer/better connection.
Its not really hard to solder them and after doing it twice now I can do the 3rd one for my Wii/Gamecube adapter but for sure I will give this a shot.
They sell DB25 headers like this at radioshack, as my luck my have it they are out of the soldering kind at my store anyways (as they only carried two and I used them both)

On the 2up side where I used the crimp pins and solid wire with the female DB25 connector, when I push the male DB25 cable onto the connector, all the pins push out a little, almost out of their sockets. All but one of the buttons worked when I pushed the connector on and I was able to push them all back down into their sockets with the insert/extract tool. I think the reason was that I used solid wire and the pins themselves look a little smaller than the pins that I was supposed to use. The side where I used stranded wire and wrapped it around the pin holds on much better, I think because of the thickness of the wire strands wrapping around the pin.
:afro: My 2up side works but the uncertainty of it is going to make me redo the connector using the solder cups instead.
