Title: Hooking up playstation2 and pc to a arcade cab
Post by: aricade on October 30, 2003, 01:18:28 pm

Hi Guys,

Here's a question tell me if this is possible.

I'd like to have a switch that would change between my PS2 and IPAC Keyboard encoder

I think there would be about 28 digital inputs to switch between...

Woud there be a electrical switch that do that?

Could I make some sort of circuit with logic that could do this? Like:
If switch up then connect all 28 inputs to there respective input on ipac
else if down connect all 28 inputs to their respective inputs on PS2 controllers

My goal is to have both the Playstation and the PC on at the same time and be able to switch between them...

If any one has any other Ideas let me know.

Cheers
