Trying to figure out multisystem setup
(1/1)
xxkodemanxx:
Alright so. I have my Mame cap up and running.
using a Neotec Arcade Monitor
and i-pac keyboard encoder.
what I would like to do is add a dreamcast into the mix.
I want to know the best way to have it switch from Mame to Dreamcast with a switch flip..
I know this is possible using something like this...

but thats using serial cable..
So tell me if im wrong...
For the controls I need to run my i-pac into this..
http://shopper.cnet.com/input-cables/mouse-adapter-ps2-to/4014-6595_9-2847503.html
then into a switchbox that also has a dreamcast serial adapter plugged into it on another slot position.
then i need a Second Switchbox for changing the system.
that has the vga from the arcade monitor in one slot.
and the dreamcast with a vga adapter in another slot on the switchbox
this sound right?
2 switch boxes..one for the controls
and one for the system?
i know i could just use the dreamcast emulator..
but it doesnt run 100%..maybe like 95%..and I KNOW that difference..haha
thanks guys

I'm adding a Dreamcast into my arcade cabinet as well. What I recommend doing is wiring everything up to DB25 connectors and then using a switchbox like the one you've got pictured to switch between the two.
I recommend looking at this project log here:

I think it basically covers what you're looking to do.
