I have a Ipaq4 control board, I want to play my ps2 games on it, I use a tv for my display so thats not an issue. I see there are mouse and keyboard playstation 2 adaptors, will this work for 2 player and do they work on all games? I dont care about the mouse I just want to play some tekken tag for ps2 with my arcade sticks

You should probably get an adapter from Ultimarc (http://www.ultimarc.com/psx.html), not sure if you can map keyboard inputs to Tekken Tag...

Do they make something like this for all the groovey game gear encoders?

Don't thinik so, but these might work on some of them if they are PS/2 keyboard fakers. Never really thought about that until today. PS/2 data in = PS/2 data out.... Heck even an X-arcade one might work, just depends on your key layout, and whether or not they are really only sending PS/2 with the other connectors...maybe there is hope for whatever it is I was trying to do after all.. can't remember...

to they make one of these for the dreamcast?

Ultimarc states that they are available at a sister company. http://www.ultimarc.com/console.html (http://www.ultimarc.com/console.html)
Just as it is,

Easiest solution if going with multi console or console and MAME or some combination is to buy a Xarcade BYOA kit and the adapters for each console. The adapters run $20ea and teh kit comes with the connection stuff for PC & MAC (USB). I've gone this route before and had a modded PS2, Modded XBOX, Dreamcast, and a Gamecube in one machine and used serial connectors to a switch box. Push a button or turn a knob and you dont have to disconnect control adapters. Never tried using the adapters with an IPAC etc..

what i am thinking about is setting up a single player test panel and i want to try the groovey stuff but i will probably give it away when im done and i want to be able to play it on ps2 if possible as well as usb.
