Noob Question - Help - Joysticks

<< < (2/2)

kowal:
The JLF on rezystor octagonal angle of inclination of 10 degrees. It on octagonal was played very comfortably. Sanwa has not short throw, then the joysticks of average throw. On octagonalu he has already large throw.
I would not buy 49wy joystick to games 4 way and 8 way, he has huge throw and creak.

I don't think you want to do that. It ties the ground from the PSX/PS2 to your PC's ground. Most people build a switch into the circuit so that you can switch between the two. You need to switch audio and video too so you have to come up with something more than the controls anyway.

Someone can correct me if this is a bum steer, but I don't think so. You want to electrically isolate the PS2 from the PC.

I have a DreamCast and an IPAC in my cab and I isolated the circuits.

EwJ:
thanks kowal!
think i'll try out a sanwa after all - with an octagonal restrictor.
as for the 49-way, maybe i'll wait to see what Randy at GGG comes up with-sounds like he'll have some new parts soon.

pmc,
thanks for the info,   
dont really use playstation much, was thinkin to kill as many birds with one stone,but this
gives me reason enough to just build a separate playstation controller in the future - something small - maybe similar
to byrdo's stuff.

any tips to find wico's? other than keep searching ebay?
