Why no step-by-step guide?

thrdbace:
for such an active forum, with lost of information, why hasn't anyone compiled a step-by-step guide?

it seems like the simplest of questions is routinely repeated on these forums...sure, people can do a search, through a million posts for "trackball installation"...but that isn't very helpful sometimes.

I'd like to see a step-by-step guide...how to install a button/joystick/trackball...the best way to mount monitors...building your cab/designing your cab/materials....connecting controls to an interface, grounding your interface...tricks to using lexan...etc...etc...

Hiub1:
(Not to sound like an ASS) The website is called "Build Your Own Arcade Controls FAQ." That is what the site is. Saint has also written a book, which I believe covers a lot of your questions.

Check it out. Hope this helps, Fred.

There is a nice one: spystyle's.  It is referenced in the Newbie sticky at the top of this page.

However, there are also many, many ways to skin a cat, so to speak.  There is no one right way to install a trackball, that's the variety that makes this hobby interesting.


edit*- looks like Bomber beat me to it. :)
