Title: Perfect 360 Joysticks.. how to connect?
Post by: infariot25 on September 10, 2003, 04:44:01 pm

hey
I finally bought some perfect 360 joysticks.  I am confused on how to hook them up.  I have a PC At style power supply(supplies the correct voltage right?).  How do i connect these to my mame cabinet (x arcade is the control interface)
thanks for the help in advance

you'll need to connect the 5v power wire from the P360 to the red wire on one one of th e4 pin molex connectors.  In case you don't know what connector i'm talking about, there will be about 3 or 4 connectors on the Power supply that are the same.  They should have a yellow wire(12v), 2 black wires(grounds), and 1 red wire(5v).

 As far as the rest of the wires on the joystick, you hook them up just as you would any other joystick(or the joysticks you're replacing?).  Hope this helps.

Will these even work with a Keyboard Hack?

Yeah, you need to get power from a 5v source to the p360, then just wire the rest of the pins to a keyboard hack (yuck).

I used screws, they worked well.
