Alright so. I have my Mame cap up and running. using a Neotec Arcade Monitor and i-pac keyboard encoder. what I would like to do is add a dreamcast into the mix. I want to know the best way to have it switch from Mame to Dreamcast with a switch flip.. I know this is possible using something like this... http://www.trianglecables.com/4waydb9mansw.html but thats using serial cable.. So tell me if im wrong... For the controls I need to run my i-pac into this.. http://shopper.cnet.com/input-cables/mouse-adapter-ps2-to/4014-6595_9-2847503.html then into a switchbox that also has a dreamcast serial adapter plugged into it on another slot position. then i need a Second Switchbox for changing the system. that has the vga from the arcade monitor in one slot. and the dreamcast with a vga adapter in another slot on the switchbox this sound right? 2 switch boxes..one for the controls and one for the system? i know i could just use the dreamcast emulator.. but it doesnt run 100%..maybe like 95%..and I KNOW that difference..haha thanks guys |

I'm adding a Dreamcast into my arcade cabinet as well. What I recommend doing is wiring everything up to DB25 connectors and then using a switchbox like the one you've got pictured to switch between the two. I recommend looking at this project log here: http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=6.30 I think it basically covers what you're looking to do. |
