sparkdrummer Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 My fingers are just too dang fat to operate the switchs on my Ulti Multi Cart. Using a pen to select them didn't work too well for me either. So, I elected to hack what you see in the images. Please note - the original cart case and the cart itself were not compromised - I tack soldered the wires needed to the underside of the cart at the pins of the dipswitch. So if I wanted to go back to "stock" it would be no problem. I used a dead Artillery Duel cart and a small project box, 8 small switches and some bits of wire. switch up is on, down is off. Please excuse the blurry pix, I ain't much of a photographer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, whatever works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a pen to select them didn't work too well for me either. It's a little late for me to make another suggestion for you're dip-switch woes, but maybe this will help someone else. The hollow stick (tube) from a chupa chups lollypop is absolutely perfect for moving small dip-switches on any device. So, I elected to hack what you see in the images. That's a pretty extreme hack! It's cool that you went through all that trouble just to play a few Astrocade games. You must have the fingers have King Kong. Then again, maybe not, otherwise you couldn't have hacked this project together. Please excuse the blurry pix, I ain't much of a photographer. The pics are actually quite clear. That's one clever hack, man! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
