I'm getting set to build my arcade controller this month.

After lurking around this board & many others, I'll probable go with an Ipac, maybe adding the second in the future along with the opti-pac.

I've drawn up the control panel as a 2 player unit. But then I got to thinking...

Most of the gaming that's going to be done will be in my rec room, and the players may not be next to each other. So I started thiking about building 2 individual controllers.

Could I run 2 Ipac's, one in each player's box, and somehow wire them together? I believe #2 has to be grounded to #1 to get the different keypresses?

And could these, with their ps2 ends, both plug in a box that would run to my ps2 input on my computer? Like a Y?

Or would it be better to run box #2 to Box #1 to Computer?

Thanks for your time,

jarr_d
