Just want to chime in and say you can also even mix and match P360 joysticks when doing this. My latest cab has one p360 daisy chained to a Wico 4-way balltop and another P360 daisy chained to a 45 degree (4-way) Universal joystick set up for q*bert.

Obviously you don't hook up the +5 on the other sticks!

I'm really intrigued by this, but I'm not sure I get it quite yet as I'm not to the wiring stage. Hopefully it will make more sense once I get there. I'll probably end up asking again in a couple months.

But I do have one question - can you do this with buttons too? Just wondering because I'm going to put pinball buttons on the side of the CP and don't know if they are redundant with other buttons.

thanks!

paigeoliver:
Yes, you can do it with buttons too.

Also, this is harder to explain, but if you wire the grounds for the P1 8-way and the 4-way separately from each other and separately from the other wiring, you can daisy chain them on each stick and then run them through a DPDT switch before running them to GND on the encoder.  This way you can disconnect the stick you aren't using so your opponent doesn't whack the 4-way and screw up your SF combo move.

See the bottom of this page for a somewhat related example.
