Atariboy Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I doubt it, but any chance such a thing exists? Was hoping to get a 2nd arcade controller for the 7800 soon, but I see the GoatStore doesn't carry them any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovalbugmann Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yeah, I inquired about a Jaguar arcade stick, and Dan never even replied back. Guess their too time consuming to make. He said before the Midwest Classic last year he would be revealing a new controller for the Jag - never heard anymore about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 What kind of connection does the X-Arcade use? It wouldn't be too difficult if it uses some kind of parallel signal. More difficult if it uses a serial signal. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 X-Arcade sticks are serial. They sell adapters for USB/PS/Xbox/DC/Wii but I've never seen one for a something as old as the 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Wii? really? Or do you mean for the Cube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Wii? really? Or do you mean for the Cube? It says Wii/GC but I just looked again at the site and you're right, it's only got GC connectors. Sorry, my mistake.

mimo Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 could you just take a spur from any connections that you need inside the box and have a 7800 joystick cable running out of the X-arcade as well? I suppose if you could do this you may as well buy the parts and build your own though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It looks like they have some kind of proprietary serial connection. You could hack in a 7800 cable but it might screw up their regular connector. You can try and email them and see if they can custom build you a 7800 adapter. It should be fairly simple, since they already know the serial connection info. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRGilbert Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The X-arcade is essentially nothing but a PS2 keyboard, and a computer will recognize it as such. Unless someone has made a keyboard adapter for the 7800, I'm not sure how workable that would be. Now, inside the X-arcade is the model of simplicity and could EASILY be rewired to make it 7800 compatible by bypassing the keyboard encoder all together. In fact, that would be AWESOME to make it a dual stick for Robotron. I imaging it would be exactly like rewiring the Radica Space Invaders sitck.
