Multi-Jamma Rotarty Board Concept - looking for thoughts

Looking to build a multi jamma cage for vertical games. In particular want to run Ikari Warriors, Heavy Barrel, and Guerrilla War together in the same cabinet. Only one game will be running at one time with the Multi Jamma board from JammaBoards.com but need to built a utility card to handle the rotary LS-30 joysticks. The harnesses look to be a set of 13 wires. So looking for qualify my concept to build my own since I don't see one out there.

The concept would be on the top of the board P1 and P2 insert 13 pin connectors for the connectors coming from the joysticks and six connectors on the bottom of the board for the outputs to the boards (3 for player 1 and 3 for player 3).

The question is the connections in the middle. Can I connect each wire directly from input to 3 outputs? Do I need a diode or resistor in-between each input? Or something else.

I figured I could get a test bread board and then insert the connectors and run the wires so should not be that hard to build just want to make sure if I should use some components between the signals of the input and output connectors.

Thanks for any thoughts folks may have.

yup that is perfect. I had a feeling there would need to be a diode or something between the connectors. I did PM 2600 and hopefully he has some left or will do another run. if not I will try and copy the design. it will not be as nice but hopefull will work.

Thanks guys.
