Or you can use the diode method, works good from what I hear. Heres the thread: http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=8562;start=msg64520#msg64520 Derek |

I find that 15 pin serial connectors work just as good. I'm fine w/ 15 pins Some can use a 25 pin serial connector if thats not enough. |

Yeah i plan to do this too, I was hoping I could just connect to the ipac.. maybe not then :'( |

thanks everyone for the help so far - crashdmj: good thread - thanks :) So the diode method works? And it's automatic (no switches or anything)? Use one diode per wire coming from the DC into IPAC? I count 12 wires total: 4/directions, 4/colored buttons, 2/triggers, 1/start, 1/ground. I'm really excited if this method works! |

Yes from my understanding you just hook the diodes up to the wire like the thread said, I got my diodes off of ebay for dirt cheap, howvere I forget the guys name who sells them. Yes its one diode for each connection, up has one, down has one, left has one etc... To be sure I would PM the guy on the thread who initially did this, just cause I dont want to give bad information. Use this site if you need help soldering: http://members.cox.net/joysticks/ Derek |
