Topic suggestions for next rev. of book

<< < (2/2)

You know, if you can't fit it in the actual book, you can always have extra chapters on the CD-Rom!

I would really to see more of the following:

Building multi-jamma cabs & Jamma/PC combo cabs as shown before.  Incl. perhaps wiring diagram examples or something.

A basic Jamma primer for the intro of that chapter showing the Jamma harness & PCB & different parts, and what connectors are what on your std jamma board.  PLus maybe some discussion on jamma+ & other jamma variations.

For the driving controls (hooking up arcade driving controls to a PC) you basically say see the chapter on mice & trackballs, and in there you show the arcade trackballs, etc. but don't go into that much detail...  different ways to hook up stick shifts (2 position, 4 position, etc.) & pedals (single, double, & 3 pedal hooksups).  You mention basically how they work along the different axis, but what are the actual wiring diffs between the diff pedals & stick shifts?

A section for swappable control panels & different methods of swapping the panels out (like one project here a guy used RJ-45 jacks, whihc I thouhgt was pretty slick and will probably use myself), including not only wiring, but physical swapping (IOW, creating 2 diff control panel boxes, and ways to easily swap them out via clamps, velcro, etc.)

Of course, these chapters would be available here or on another site for those that have already purchased the book !  :-)

well again, that's off of the top of my head anyway...

Not that I am complaining.  I feel lucky that we have the book at all!  :-)
