: Although Munich doesn't recommend molex connectors. I do. I built a nice control panel with 15 pin molex connectors (seemed to be enough for my needs...4way joystick + 9 to 10 buttons per player). And as you alluded to, this makes it very easy to swap out DC joypads with Playstation joypads.

Hey there! That shot looks really fantastic. Do you have a link to your construction history?
You may have just solved my problem regarding PC/DC control panel use. Once I have my Mame panel built, all I have to do is figure out the circuit board for two DC pads, then make Molex connections to quickly swap the panel plug between DC boards and PC encoder!
