Entry level noob needs help w/ control wiring.

<< < (3/4) > >>

NickG:
your name is seriously bugging me, heheh.  you shouldn't need to do a full rewire just yet.   If your Galaga harness is fully wired then you may have the up and down wires leading off somewhere (same connector for Bosconian); then you just have to find the other end of the wires on the up and down pins, then wire the to your joys. 
If it is not fully wired  (which is more likely) then it is probably easiest to solder your joystick wires to the up and down through-holes on the jamma to galaga adapter.  I suggest you familiarize yourself with a jamma pinout and a galaga pinout.  You'll probably see what I am talking about then.

Thanks NickG...lol.  I appreciate the help.  Any suggestions on a good soldering iron?  What type of wire should I use?

I'd suggest one that gets hot...but maybe that's just me.

if you plan on doing a a lot of soldering in the future, then you might want to invest in a nice high quality iron. 

if you are just going to use it here and there then you will be fine with a cheap one from Radio Shack.

what type of wire do you reccomend?
