It's actually really simple.
Basically , all I'm doing is building a computer into that arcade game case.After that , it's simply a case of wiring in real arcade controls into the computer , and fortunately , there are companies that provide 'off-the-shelf' solutions.
I'll be starting with 2 of
These...
Each joystick can utilize 8 buttons as well.
I'll also be getting a
Spinner and a
trackball...
All these controls just plug in via USB.
-------
The coin slots already work....you put a quarter in, it clicks a button.....After that it's all software , and MAME will do it.
