Title: Tron controls?
Post by: CCM on December 30, 2003, 10:26:35 am

The movie was on the other night and I ended up watching the whole thing.  Of course after that I had the urge to play it.  The problem is I have a standard street fighter layout with a trackball and spinner, so it's a bit tough to play.

I got to thinking about how to play it without adding an actual Tron stick to my control panel.  I recently bought a partially gutted Ninja Gaiden cabinet, it still had the control panel with joys and buttons, but no monitor or boards.  So, could I use the Ninja Gaiden joystick to play Tron?  I haven't taken the control panel apart yet and I don't know how the button on the top of the joystick is wired.  Can it just be wired to player 1 button 1 on my I-pac?

I'm not familiar with the Ninja Gaiden stick, but if it's got a switch somewhere under that button, then yes.  You should be able to connect any normally-open switch to your ipac.  You can also have another button on your CP for player1 button1 for regular play by connecting the switches in parallel.
