FS: USB To Arcade Control Panel Harnesses...perfect for MAME...$59ea (Pic Included)

Hi -

I created a USB to arcade control panel harness, and here's some information about it.

This provides USB support for arcade controls on any device or emulator that supports USB. All you have to do is connect your buttons and controls to the harness, and plug the USB connector into your gaming console, PC, Mac, or other hardware, and that's it.

I have even created a controller configuration file for MAME so that it can be selected in the graphical interface/emulator command line, with zero configuration necessary. This kit completely eliminates the need for interfaces that use antiquated keyboard mappings or other means to control arcade hardware, which also makes it compatible with many more devices - from PC emulators (Stella, WinUAE, C64) to PSP to the PS3.

It also saves you the time and effort to create your own harness and wiring as well.

You can use the supplied MAME configuration file or configure it hundreds of different ways yourself. Each set of wires is approximately 2' (.6M) giving you the range to create small or large control panels.

You can also take most any 1P arcade joystick/button control panel and immediately convert it to USB for home use.

For more information or to ask questions, please feel free to e-mail me. I also sell these kits complete with a full set of Happ Controls hardware (Ultimate joystick, 10 buttons, etc) for an extra $30. This includes white 1P/2P start buttons, green for coin/credit, black for pause, and your choice of black or blue stick and buttons for gameplay.

This device supports (10) total buttons and (1) joystick, and everything comes pre-labeled for easy installation. The buttons are MAME-mapped as follows:

1. Buttons 1-6 are for normal game-play and the use of 6 buttons will support 99% of all arcade games, including classics, Neo-Geo, fighters, etc.

2. The remaining (4) buttons are mapped to "1P start", "2P start", "coin/credit", "pause". In MAME using coin/pause simultaneously is the equivalent of "ESC".

** None of the original mappings in MAME are overwritten with this configuration file, so you can still use a keyboard and mouse without any interference (even if they are USB devices).

3. For non-MAME use, the buttons are mapped to the standard USB joystick and button mappings (1-10) so using this kit is as simple as plugging in any USB gamepad or joystick.


I am still working on http://www.revisionx.com but hope to have more elaborate product pages up and running by the end of the week.

Best regards,
