Buying bits for my first build

the ultimarc jstik should look physically identical to the u360...so they make good sticks for players 3 and 4..although i dont really know how they feel in 8 way mode.

the u360s are usb joysticks...how do you plan to connect them to the ps2?

if you are considering using it for 4 player ps2 games, then you may want to leave enough room on your panel so that you could easily add a few buttons later

do yourself a favor and make sure you have a router to use.  they make the entire process so much easier.  you can get one at harbor freight for under $30.

since there will be 2 regular sticks anyways I'll hook up all the sticks to an ipac4 and have a keyboard switcher to switch between the laptop and a ps2 adapter.

I was planning on leaving some extra room anyways but now you have me thinking of what I should do with the layout if I might add 4 buttons later. Frankly it seems unlikely that  I'll ever get around to adding the 4 player ps2 since its allot more complication and the only game I would want to play is marvel ultimate alliance which uses an ungodly amount of buttons (pretty much every button,joystick and d-pad are useful at the same time excluding possibly the left analog if you don't mind not changing the camera angle).

And I am building an entirely new cabinet I'm not converting an old one. As another question how long do you think this will take? I'm taking at least 3 weeks off of work (not just for this) but it seems to me that I should be able to finish it in that time. Is that realistic for my first build?


severdhed:

3 weeks could work if you can spend alot of that time working on it...  3months sounds like a more reasonable time frame though
