| Wiring two joysticks together? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| SephYuyX:
I just realised I made an oversight when planning for the parts I need for my CP. I plan to have 3 joysticks (2 players and one for 4 way games), and was going to use IPAC2, but then I realized IPAC2 only has room for two joysticks (keep in mind all the button slots are taken), duh, what was I thinking. So I thought since one would never use one player 8 way and the 4 way at the same time (correct?), why not wire them together? Would this be a passable idea? |
| Bobulus:
It should work, as long as you don't jostle the 8ways while using the 4way. Alternately, all the ipac inputs are the same; You could just wire the way to something else, like those 1A 1B 2A 2B connections at the bottom. edit: Oh, you said all the buttons spots are taken. Yeah, I'd just wire both to player 1 or something. |

I wired my 4-way joystick to my 8-way joystick. Just as long as no one moved the 4-way joystick while playing a game then you should be fine. Never happened to me, so it seems to work fine. |
| Scotty:
I have done it as well. Works fine. |

You could also wire a 2 way switch and wire the grounds to it so either the 4 way or the 8 way would be grounded, if you want to have no chance of bumping it. |
