In Reply to: Is it possible to wire multiple game consoles into the same control panel? posted by mhoward211 on January 02, 2002 at 15:49:46:
if you have a button on you cp and it has 1 set of wire going to a ipac and another set to the snes controller and another set to the saturn pad the only problem would be the buttons short each other out..but this should not happen since non of the counsle are connected to each other. draw a circle with 3 sets of paired lines extending from the center......... now using an imaginary line connect one of the paired sets.....like pressing a button...see if one consle is on at a time or off whatever then when a button is pressed it is only sending its signal to that systems controller.... buy connecting one of the paired lines in the 3 sets of the circle you are not completing the circut to anyother sysem.....if only one is on but if all are on it would send a press to all of them.....but why would all of the systems be on at the same time...unless you had a clever way of switching between the inputs.....but each system would have only one games in it at a time unless you had one of the cool multigame rack things like they used to have for systems like the old SEGA...... hope this helpsl..
