: my original idea is to take my NES and an old 19" TV that i dont use, hook a couple of Advantage sticks to the NES and build a cab around the whole shebang. whammo, no money spent! but with the Advantage you're dealing with a false feeling of arcade coolness. Anybody out there build arcade control panels that interface with the console's actual hardware instead of
: the PC?
Yes, I have a Sega Genesis controler thats wired for the controls in my cabinet. PSX, Genesis, and Nintendo controlers can all be hacked the same way. There is a site showing how to hack Playstation (PSX) controlers in the Examples section.
: i'd need a panel with 2x 8-way, 2x 'b' button, 2x 'a' button, 4x toggle switches for turbo-a and turbo-b (turbo, not auto), select, start, and a switch for slow-mo, which is rapid and automatic triggering of start.
: i'm thinking select, start and slow could just be wired into the 1st player controls.
In most games wouldn't need start and select on the second pad. I think your setup will work.
