Greetings,

Super info here guys thanks.

I have seen projects with soldered connections and crimp terminal connections. Which is better ?

Issue being for me I can solder (now) after 12 joystick projects faster and better than I can crimp.

I heard the heat from the iron can damage internal connections in cherry switches...not happened to me YET. I have found it much easier to make common ground loops soldering. Plus the solder connections SEEM to make a faster connection...can't proove it :)

Also those looking to solve the monitor issue another answer exists...I use a ATI 128 (Rage Pro Fury) with S-video out and a monitor from a security system...a 21" RGB so it displays 320x240 very nicely in ArcadeOs.

Thanks,

tommyV
