Some questions regarding wiring
lavalamp:
Hi all. im about to buy a second hand cab to run MAME off of. its basically empty, lacking a pcb and such. im going to be using the original JAMMA controls with it. i was wondering what i need to do to to make the JAMMA controls work with my pc inside. ive read about using a keyboard encoder, more specifically, the LP24, along with a JAMMA fingerboard. but to do that, am i going to need to buy a JAMMA pcb to make it work? the cab is just for running MAME of the pc, so im not interested in using jamma game boards or anything.....thanks for your help.
TalkingOctopus:
Since you are not going to use a jamma pcb, you can just wire the controls to a keyboard encoder like the ipac (http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html). This will interface the arcade controls with the computer.

Thanks. I saw the things about the Ipac and figured that was what i needed to do. the controls are 2 players with 4 buttons each. Should i be getting an Ipac2 then?
Apollo:
If its only 2 sticks and a few buttons why not use a Keywhiz?

theres also 4 player start buttons (no idea why theres four, got this second hand), and i may expand to 6 buttons each.
