I'm planing (i'll think about building it if i can get it to work in theory) on a sorta univerisal interface...
Basically here's what i'm thinking about
My custom built controls have a big fat plug on the end of them (more on this later) and i can either plug that into a keyboard encoder, directly into a dongle on a keyboard/keyboard hack/adapter to (almost) any console (via a pad hack)...
i'm going with 10 buttons per controller here (4 dir/8 buttons/start/select..psx)
which is 14 individual signals and as far as i can see it i'm going to have to need 2 wires per signal (so it would work with ANY keyb hack,etc...)
which is just 3 more wires then a db25 has (would of been perfect)
i was looking at scsi 1 db50 connectors, but i don't know of a place that sells solder connectors for these (in Australia)...
once i have it all worked out i'll make a nice big write up about it...
i was looking into making a couple of psx adapters (for friends and myself) and is there a cheaper way of getting/making connectors then hacking extension cords/multitaps..
