Nice. Thanks
I was thinking of a wooden stand, like so:
Maybe get some hinges so it can fold up.
So I just bought a set of arcade twinsticks....

I'm not sure if putting wheels on it is such a good idea. It might perform a SLC and ram your TV in the heat of battle. The slightly elevated foot rest seems odd too.NeoTechni wrote:Nice. Thanks

Re: So I just bought a set of arcade twinsticks....
Yeah they are out of production, but I think it's more like 8 years. When I bought my first VOOT arcade sticks in 2000, the seller was able to get some OMG sticks.Testament/Seven7 wrote:These sticks nor parts have not been in production for 13-14 years. Again, grats on the find.
I am playing VOOT at a computer desk, and I actually use a Fellowes foot rest when playing. I like it.shamanic_beat wrote:The slightly elevated foot rest seems odd too.

I didnt meAn it as a foot rest but to prevent 100 lbs of metal crushing my knees
Re: So I just bought a set of arcade twinsticks....
Oh sweet. I just downloaded VOOT for 360, and you can make controls to the dpad and face buttons! That should make for some easy soldering! (compared to soldering to an analog stick I mean)
Problem. Where do I get the opposite ends of those quick disconnect cables?

I cannot tell what kind of connectors from viewing your pictures. Did you find any information in the manual?NeoTechni wrote:Where do I get the opposite ends of those quick disconnect cables?

Re: So I just bought a set of arcade twinsticks....
Oki, so I can account for:
Big (Sticks) connector
Row A
1 <BLANK> = Empty
2 Brown + White = Right Stick, Right direction
3 Blue + White = Right Stick, one of the buttons
4 Pink = Left Stick, Left direction
5 Purple = Left Stick, Down direction
Row B
1 White
2 Green + White = Right Stick, Up direction
3 Fuchsia + White = Right Stick, one of the buttons
4 Light Orangy, brownish? = Left Stick, Right direction
5 Blue = Left Stick, one of the buttons
Row C
1 Pink + White = Right Stick, Left direction
2 Purple + Black = Right Stick, Down direction
3 White
4 Green = Left Stick, Up direction
5 Fuchsia = Left Stick, one of the buttons
Small (START) connector
Row D
1 White = I'd assume START
2 <BLANK>
3 Green = Thick Grounding Wire
Row E
1 Yellow = START
2 Blue + White = I'd assume START
3 Pink + Black = START
That accounts for everything
Though I need to find out which button is which
Is the white ground or voltage? I'd assume voltage, as ground doesn't work in my mind. Plus there is the green grounding wire already.
And what wire does what for the start button? Is there a light in there, so it needs another ground+voltage?
Of course I remember now that the sticks aren't analog, after I made the pic
Re: So I just bought a set of arcade twinsticks....
Sigh I emailed Sega's arcade division and got no reply.
Anyone have any idea where I could get those quick disconnect things for the system's side? I really don't want to solder to the controller

Re: So I just bought a set of arcade twinsticks....
I have slightly more information, those quick disconnects are called wiring/button looms/harnesses
I've emailed like 10 different arcade part supply sites in hopes for more info....

Re: So I just bought a set of arcade twinsticks....
http://www.lizardlick.com/ thinks they may have the molex connectors, I'm just waiting for some more feedback with them
I found my soldering iron, breadboards, and my multimeter!
I tried connecting the multimeter to the green/ground pin, then connecting the other input to each other pin while trying to push buttons, to see which pin=which wire, but that failed...
