I remember getting an email from someone on the board that you can have both the pad hack and the interface wired simultaneously without causing problems, so long as only one is plugged in at once. Haven't actually tried this myself though.

: I'm planning on building a box that will use both MAME and a dreamcast. I'm having a difficult time coming up with a way to use the arcade controls for both the computer (keyboard interface) and the dreamcast (hacked controller). Can I simply split each wire out of each control and go into each device. This way, which ever machine is powered on will work? Is there some kind of switch I can purchase?
: Any advice from anyone whos attempted this would be much appreciated.

: Thanks
