Title: Last question for me before I start my first build, wiring questions.
Post by: Gatt on April 05, 2006, 02:27:18 am
Hi all,

Read through the boards and have had almost all of my questions answered.

Just a couple more that I'm not 100% on.  My CP is a slikstik Co2 blank,  with Player 1 and 2's primary joysticks being 49-ways on GP Wiz's.  The remainder of the controls will wire through an Ipac/4(Went overboard before I knew what I was doing.),  this will be multi-emu so I'm using an Ipac as well as the GP-wiz's.

The only major change is the dedicated 4-way is going to be replaced by a Happs Flightstick.

On to my questions...

1.  From what I understand I can wire my trackball buttons and asteroid buttons into my Player 1 buttons on the Ipac without a problem?

2.  I can also wire my flightstick into Player 1 on the Ipac and have both it and the 49-way coexist happily serving the same purpose?

3.  For best functionality I want to wire the Player 1 secondary Top fire joystick to Player 2 on the Ipac and the Player 2 secondary to Player 4?

4.  I could also wire the Flightstick and Top fire buttons into the appropriate buttons on the Ipac such as Player 1 button 1,  along with everything else going in there?

5.  I would be best served by getting a wiring harness or two from Radioshack instead of trying to pack all of these buttons into the same blocks on the Ipac?

Thanks *very* much to anyone who can answer these for me.  I've read enough on the boards that I feel fairly secure I can do this,  just some final questions to avoid backtracking/unnecessary messes.
