Hooking DC pads up to my CP
DreamWeb:
Hey folks. I'm still looking for other suggestions to help me get this going!
Anyone?

RetroACTIVE:
As far as ground is concerned, you should be fine. Most if not all logic level ground is the same for the entire system (especially when it comes to USB/PS2). I would say try it... it certainly won't hurt anything. Like any other control panel, all the ground leads are typically chained together anyway.
Give it a shot... I would.
DreamWeb:
I'm willing to give it a go.. but it would require a complete rewiring of my system. So, I'm hoping to avoid it if it's not going to work.
What I don't understand is... Is what I'm suggesting completely out of the ordinary? What do most people do? I thought I was doing something pretty standard!
Thanks!

The majority of people that I know with Dreamcasts in a cab do not put additional systems or computer with MAME along side the Dreamcast.
With that said you should be able to do what you are suggesting with a DB25 setup.
I've got mine going along side a xbox, ps2, gamecube, and mame but I went the X-arcade BYOA kit and adapters to DB25 w/ a data switch box. So no disconnecting and swapping connectors and it works fine. I have some hacked DC controllers that I can probably use to test this out for you, but likely wouldnt get arround to testing it till Saturday.

Don't spend too much time on it.. but, if you have some extra (time).. please, feel free! :) I'm a novice with this stuff... so rewiring my cabinet is going to take the better part of an entire weekend! :)
Thanks!
