Not sure which section this belongs in, but since I'm talking about using arcade parts, lets try here first...
I've been giving some thought to building a custom control panel for my Vectrex. Just thinking something basic, a standard 4 or 8 way stick and 4 buttons, but would like to add a potentiometer for games like hyperdrive, vaboom and so on.
What I could really use help with is the interface. I have no idea how to go about it. I did a quick Google search with no luck yet. I know theres some options, like using an old genesis pad and hacking the hardware, but I'm not sure, might be better to build a circuit from scratch, especially seeing as how I'd like this thing to have both analog and pushbutton controls.
Looking for anyone with any insight on this. Or even someone who can build the curcuit for me, and I can build the rest.
