If you have a link or a picture of the buttons wired to the ultimarc 360 please post. --- End quote --- It is super super easy. You daisy chain the grounds and individually wire each switch. No soldering required if you get some quick disconnects. Here is how I hooked up one of my U360s: The pics aren't at the best angle but you get the idea. You can check out HERE for more info. It really is the best solution since the stick is mappable. You can switch from 4-way to 8-way to whatever on the fly without any added steps. It is totally seamless and they just work. On one of my older cabs I have T-Sticks which were switchable from 4-way to 8-way and unless I was the one playing they just stayed in 8-way all the time because my friends didn't know which games should be on which settings and they just didn't care. With the U360 you don't have to ever think about it. It is the best solution for a MAME cab where you want to play the most amount of games without creating a frankenpanel, IMO. |

The U360s look great but $60/each plus shipping gets expensive quickly even if you account for the fact that you don't need an I-PAC, you still need the (sold separately) button harness. I wired up my I-PAC two nights ago. Two sticks, 7 buttons each, P1 and P2 start. Took about an hour and worked right the first time. Best part about the I-PAC is it comes preset with MAME's default keyboard layout and you don't have to change or configure anything at all. Just plug in and go. |

It's a stick that does almost everything and does it all very well. |
