Using Two X-Arcade Duo's for 4 player possible?

Is it possible to use two X-Arcade Duo's for 4 player games?

Thanx

Necro:
It would require either using an X-arcade as a keyboard on the first X-arcade or using the USB adapter.

I think it (theoretically) would be possible.  Contact them and find out...let us know :).

yes it is possible to use them together for 4 player games.  if ur playing it on a console system nothing extra is needed except the right adapters for that console.  for the pc you will have to have at least one of them connect through usb and you will also have to reprogram the buttons on the 2nd duo because all the keys are set to the same letters of the keyboard on each duo but you have 3 extra slots for preprogramed key settings.  thats what i used with my arcade, but i took my duos apart and put them inside a box i built myself for a complete looking 4 player controler

Do you have any pics of your setup? I thought about getting a blank slikstik quad and putting the insides of the 2 x-arcade duos in there (my cab is currently fitted with a BYOAC x-arcade duo).

the hole on the side is where i mounted the switch to go between to the saved button configurations (it needs to be in the original configuration for console games and then switched for games on the PC)


here's a link to my little documention for the build of my cab.  a word of advice don't "test" out the cab until you have completed it.  mine is still wip   finally started working on it again, putting the doors on the front and adding the coin doors
