Couldn't you just wire the mode button closed permanently without a button at all?

No.  With the "JoyMode" button held down, the other inputs are temporarily "paused" to prevent unintended button presses. The only ones that aren't are the 5 shifted buttons as the "JoyMode" aslo acts as the shift.

Hi Randy, Sorry if I mislead anyone about a special version. I know the purpose would be to enable using a rotary switch which would pass a constant low to one of the inputs thus selecting it. Not to derail you but could those same pins also detect a high as an active input? perhaps sensing the state of the pins on startup and responding appropriately? I don't need it for my set I have now as I got the parallel port relay board but it would be very cool to me to eliminate the relay board completely and wire directly to the printer port.

Thanks Again! Awesome product!

Oh, how are the Ball Tops coming? Will you be doing them for the original Midway sticks as well?

With these, you would cut the end of a parallel cable off and run the wires for the particular data bits directly to the active high inputs.

could you do 4 modes that way by using the diodes as shown in RandyT's diagram? or am I confused?  ???    :)

Looking at Randy's diagram it sure looks like you could. I don't think you are confused at all. I bought the 8 relay board and it will be here tomorrow. I only plan on switching 5 of the modes leaving out 49 way progressive and 16 way and 3 empty relays for future cab tricks :)
