As for the attitudes, I assume you are referring to those "Audi Chick" remarks or the sarcasm from Hoopz, correct?

Pretty sure that he means YOUR attitude, hence the response from Hoopz and myself, and of course, the Audi chick.

I couldn't be my attitude, since I wasn't sarcastic and didn't make any statements geared toward belittling anyone as you did.

You might want to take a hard look in the mirror there. No statements belittling, eh? Let's review:

So, people take the time out to answer your question, and since your question involves more than just a yes or no, when it doesn't match exactly what you are looking for, it's a waste of time? You know what - you're absolutely right; however it's a waste of the person answering your question's time to be more specific.

Not belittling, however insulting.
--- Quote from: D_Harris on April 26, 2010, 09:45:55 am ---no matter how many times I ask for a pointer to the specific harness(or harnesses) I need in this thread I get responses that have nothing to do with that question. So I might as well move on.

Here's where the attitude comes in. And by the way, your question was answered, you just didn't understand the answer. However, it was answered in the context of BYOAC - (that stands for Build Your Own Arcade Controls, in case you weren't aware). I guess you thought you were on PIYAC - Plug in Your Arcade Controls.

More attitude...
You see the problem here is that you post asking for help, it is offered, and suddenly you respond as if you know it all, and these people are wasting your time with "unnecessary information" and not answering the question you asked.

In that respect, it is a waste of your time and my time... The question was not complex. The answer need not have been more than a pointer to the exact harness I needed in order to get the control panel I posted a picture of (twice) to work. If you didn't know the answer then why waste your time and my time with the sarcasm?
The question that was answered was whether or not I needed to re-wire or re-program between games.(Thanks Hoopz).

Funny how you over looked the insults directed at me from three posters before I made that statement...

That made no sense at all. Why don't you point out where the question was answered?
And that was not an "attitude". That was my attempt to diffuse the issue.

No it wasn't. It was a statement of fact. I knew most of what was said that didn't answer my question.

Now that would be considered an outright lie.

I don't know what world you live in but it has nothing to do with reality.
Question: What harness do I need to get my "X" control panel to work?
So the challenge is for you to search this thread and find where this question was correctly answered before I got that answer from Andy... (I won't hold my breath).

--- Quote from: Havok on April 26, 2010, 12:14:01 am ---Seriously though - you should ask Andy from Ultimarc if he has any of the old harnesses left, or you could buy a new one and cut it. Connect the trackball and spinner side, and then connect those wires to the appropriate connections on the mini-pac. Just grab an old IDE cable and cut it to get the correct pin connections to plug into the mini-pac. However, make sure you get one that has all 40 pins available, or see if you can do without the one that is normally filled in for keying purposes.
Done.

--- Quote from: smalltownguy on April 26, 2010, 06:14:13 am ---If you're talking optical controls like a trackball, I've successfully used my older minipac to interface my Happs trackball no problem.
I got the switch harness with the setup, but I made my own trackball harness out of a non keyed usb motherboard header block. Just your basic 10 pin block. This block plugs into the extra, smaller group of pins on your minipac, providing power and ground to your trackball. The X,Y signals actually go to the wiring harness pins on the switch harness.

Your post stating that Andy answered your question isn't until reply #40:

I win.
Once again, I state what is obvious to others on this board - the question was answered in a BYOAC context. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean you can act condescending since we didn't give you a SKU number from a website...
You may now exhale.
