Ikari Sticks and Opti-PAC
« on: May 10, 2009, 06:38:57 pm »
Hi All,

I got an SNK Ikari Stick and wanna wire it to my Opti-PAC.

The problem I have is I dont have a clue where to start. Do I run wires from microswitches to the Opti-PAC or from the large lomb on the bottom?

Not sure if you can use an Opti-Pac for what you want to do, but Ultimarc has a dedicated interface for this for interfacing the 13 pin wiring harnesses:

The microswitches are connected as any regular joystick would be connected.  I think Randy T at GroovyGameGear has a rotary solution as well.

Good luck!   :cheers:
