Title: Connect MiniPac to Playstation or XBox
Post by: rchadd on April 09, 2004, 09:57:45 pm

I am planning on building a control panel using the MiniPac to connect to my PC to primarily play Mame. Now just wondering if possible to connect it to play on my XBox and Playstation as well.

Any ideas how to do it?

cheers

It is possible and many people are connecting consoles to arcade controls.  However, you would not connect your miniPac to the consoles because it is a keyboard encoder.  Instead you have to connect the arcade controls directly to the console controller's circuitboard.

Here is a good site for connecting consoles to arcade controls:
