???-This is on the Ipac messageboard to ;)
So im hacking a PSX controller and wiring it to my arcade right? So I have everything wired to the joysticks/buttons (etc). and it works fine. The only problem I am having is when I go from my ipac to the barrier strip it acts like theres a current running through it and its just a constant "s" or an "a". Anyone understand what im trying to say? Long story short...Wire goes from button 1,2,3 etc on the Ipac to X,O,TRI,SQ on the barrier strip. Whenever I connect them it acts like a constant press is being pushed down. ??? ??? >:(
Any thoughts.....if anyone can help I have some pics of it I can send. thank you.!
Or maybe if anyone knows how to wire a switch (pics would be awesome). A switch so I can switch between the IPAC and PSX....(printer switchter maybe?!?)

If I understand you correctly, you have...
Joysticks/Buttons ---> PSX controller ---> I-PAC ---> PC
OR do you have
Joysticks/Buttons ---> PSX controller ---> PC
AND
Joystick/Buttons ---> I-PAC ---> PC
In either case, I guess I don't understand what you are gaining by using two different interfaces (I-PAC & PSX) to connect your controls to your pc. I think you would just run into problems by trying to do this, and from your post it seems that you are.

(Also when I press down my buttons on 1 and 2..they output the same button [ex: a,s]>:(.......(ahhh so many problems!)
Im using my arcade controls for MAME and PSX
(What im doing marked with '*')
So whenever I touch a wire from the barrier strip to the ipac I get a constant continuity......like its being held down.
Your first one...like this :

How?
arcade controls to a db25 plug. then a ahcked psx controller will have one end of the plug and the ipac the other end of the plug.

That is EXACTLY what i was gonna post..except i was thinking molex connecter but DB25 should be better(less work).
