How to hack Namco 5-in-1

<< < (2/5) > >>

Look on the main site at the tutorials for how to hack dreamcast / ps2 etc controls.  The concept is exactly the same, you'll just be looking at a different control board.  There are a lot of pictures for some of those projects, and looking through them really helped me visualize what I needed to do before I started tearing stuff up.

I think Friday Walmart is having a sale where it's 2 for the price of one so they're actually less than $10.  Try it out and post your results!  I'd love to see them...

jimmyjet:
As far as the boards in those joysticks go, every wire is labeled.  All you need is a bit of common sense.  If you are hacking the pacman one, definitely upgrade to a real four way joy.  Just cut all wires and reattach them to a real joy.  Same thing with the buttons.   Cut both wires and reattach.   The ms pac needs the joystick it comes with to make pole position work.
Throw the battery holder away and wire in a dc convertor.

Ok so javeryh is right they are $20 for pacman and ms.pacman  combo pack. I posted  about this yestarday. Can't go wrong for that price !

jimjet is correct they are suppposedly all labeled , 2 people in this thread have done it... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,23215.0.html

I revived that thread hoping one of them  will post  some pictures. I know its not that hard but from what I understand it is hard to get the plastic casing off . I also prefer to learn by seeing or specific instructions.

Jimmyjet...can you comment more about the need to keep the joystick for ms pacman.

Thanks
Ed
