Title: Cab and xbox
Post by: Kashyyyk on May 25, 2014, 11:24:12 pm

I'm close to getting and xbox with visionary 4 but curious as to how it interfaces with a control panel. My end goal is for a cab with control panel and I don't want to go this route if it is just going to be a waste. Anyone have experience with this?

This is what you want.  Nay.  This is what you need!

For a 2-player panel like Floriske.nl's you'll need:

* 2 KADE miniArcade boards from here (http://emukade.com/) (or 2 Minimus AVRs if you want to save a few bucks and don't mind soldering)

* 2 USB to X-box adapter cables like this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-type-A-Female-Socket-to-XBOX-Gamepad-Adapter-Controller-Converter-Cable-Cord-/301162394654?pt=US_Video_Game_Cables_Adapters&hash=item461ead741e)

* Wires and quick disconnects.  Paradise Arcade Shop (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/306-jamma-harnesses) has prefab 16 wire rainbow packs and daisy-chain grounds that make wiring a panel much easier.

Check out the Quick Start guide (http://kadevice.com/kade-miniarcade/quickstart-guide/) for links to the KADE Loader software and directions. (works with the Minimus AVRs)
