Title: MAME question ??????
Post by: sean2276 on March 19, 2005, 12:58:35 am

I have an empty arcade cabinet, and I want to hook up all my consoles inside
ps2
xbox
dreamcast
n64
snes
nes
they will be connected to a tv with a game selector (pic)
the problem is that i'm having is that I'm not sure how to connect all the controllers to one arcade control panel

Any idea's?

You can hack a ps controller to your arcade controls and use it along with adaptors to play ps2, xbox and dc. Then you can hack some nes and controllers to your arcade controls as well.  Only one system should be attached to the arcade controls at a time.  My solution was to use molex connectors.  When I switch systems, I have to unplug the current system and then plug the new one in.

I don't think I can recommend attaching an n64 to arcade controls.  There just aren't enough games to take advantage of the arcade controls.  I feel that they are best played on the original controller using the analog stick.

I want to hook them up all at once, and only have to change the selctor.

nes and snes can be emulated from the DC. lik-sang should sell ps2 adaptors for xbox and DC.
