no never...never needed.
would have been easier for you if you made like a project box where you put the hacked dc pad and use molex connector.and left the box open so you can change the cards whenever you want.
my panel has 2 dc pads.one of them as a VMU inside the panel.
and my regular control has another VMU for regular dc games and got another one for my gun...things works out for me  :).

il ike that idea, but my kid and my friend havea way oif ruining things that arent locked away 8) so i put the pads inside, so far its workign nice, the controller ports in the side of the cab have really helped with gun games and stuff like that too.

Thanks for sharing

I plan on doing something similar for the VMU.  I also like the side port for the dreamcast.  Why only one though?
