It uses it's own propietary encoder interface.  Unless it was super cheap you're probably best just getting the stuff you need in one lump from ultimarc.  

The x-arcade encoder works fine (and has the ability to use different consoles via adapter plugs) from what I understand... but if you are ordering an opticpac from ultimarc anyways you'll do best to save on shipping by getting what you need in one go.

*shrug*...  you CAN use it if you want - but it's a matter of preference.  You can buy the sticks for 5.95 each direct from x-arcade and 20 buttons for like 10 bucks so the parts you'd save from gutting one is negligible (save for the encoder)...

The x-arcade buttons/sticks are functinoal but a little bit chincy (although I use them on my cab without issue)

it's a preference thing as to which step you want to take next.

well, it wouldnt be for mine. would use it for the 2P cab i made for my friend.

hmmm... he wants 100 for it. but maybe that is still a bit much to come out ahead.

anyway, why is it that yall recommend the USB. i wanted the serial so i wouldnt have to mess with arcade+.

i thought besides that they were the exact same thing
