Dreamcast and Mame cabinet

(1/10) > >>

Miller:
Is it possible to wire up a Dreamcast and a Mame PC to a Naomi uni cabinet control panel at the same time, ie without having to keep switching over from one to the other, thanks.

ark_ader:
I had to have a switch to my DC and PC when I had them connected.

I thought you would fry your CP or DC if you didn't.

NickG:
There are quite a few possible ways to connect your Mame PC and your DC to a control panel without having to manually switch them.  It all depends how much work and/or money you are willing to throw at the project. 

moloch:
I am looking to to the same thing with at least one dreamcast.  I am hoping to link 2 up and do head to head cabinets for Virtual On. I am thinking about using some kind of modified KVM switch or something. I just started thinking about this last week. I will keep watching this thread and if I come up with anything I will post it here.

I have also though about using one of those 2 jamma boards in one cabinet things and wiring up the DreamCast to a Jamma finger board and my J-Pac to the other......

Miller:
Ok ive made my own wiring and connected all the CP wiring to a terminal block, then i wired the Dreamcast and PC to this term block, the Dreamcast is working fine but the PC with an I-Pac is not because im only getting 1.25V as opposed to 5V but when i disconnect the dreamcast wires the PC is ok and i get 5V. So my question is how do i stop the Dreamcast pad drawing all the volts?
