Post by: Billy on February 15, 2009, 12:53:03 pm

I have game pads, filght sticks, mouses & keyboards all ready for the takin. So how can I get stargate cp working with my computer/mame? Is there a tut on this site somewhere?

That will be quite a bit of work (I know). I-Pac or KeyWiz would save a lot of time, and they cost less than $40.00.  Here is a pic of what what lies ahead of you:

I'd use an IPAC... I kind of did the same thing as you're doing, but with a scratch built panel and a regular stick. Pics are here:

Thanks for the posts.

Ok here is what  I want to do. I want to run my own custom controls panels from my Pc as well as my full size Stargate arcade machine.

My Stargate has a Jrok board and I am going to buy a new jamma harness off ebay tonight. So what I want to do is build three or four different control panels for my stargate.

I want to build a robotron, joust and a multi williams layout. Here is the catch... I would love to run my real cp's on my computer as well.

So how can I setup these real Williams cp's to be plug and play... On both my computer and the real machine?

Anyone know how to pull this off? What Kind of connectors would I need?

My Sg Cp harness has a 12 pin plug with 11 populated with wires one free.

I don't have a jamma harness in hand yet but can only assume it has different ends than my williams harness.

So whats the best way to pull this off?
