Good question. If you have a link to a website that describes this, we can add a "see also" section with pointers to websites. If you have actual directions that can be added to the Wiki - maybe a seperate page would work better and add a link from the 2600 and 7800 pages? [[User:Felsir|Felsir]] 13:08, 29 March 2006 (EST)

Page setup discussion

I created the first console entry. What should be included on these pages? I made some quick and basic sections to get things started. Felsir 03:24, 29 March 2006 (EST)


Great little list, I love that.

- If any system buttons is used, it could been listed here too, beause you have a lots more space here.

- Some emulators may need a bit work to get it works in a cabinet in form of a wrapper. These can been of course link to these too.

- We could maybe even use a picture, like that one in the frontend and jukebox section?

- We could here even help users, how to setup a bat file, so get it run from a any frontend (not just mamewah). It would been great for MESS.

And Opps....

- I have taken about 2 handheld consols to the list, because I diddent notice it had thier own page. These should of course being removed. Sorry.

Note that this is the console page and not the emulator page. I think the "how to get emulator X" to work on a cabinet should be added on the emulator's specific page. Indeed, button configurations should be added here too (and include the system buttons) Pictures are always a great to have! A photograph of the console or a game-screenshot would be a great addition! Felsir 09:02, 29 March 2006 (EST)

Joystick connection schematics

I've got directions for making an I-PAC (or any encoder really) accept Atari 2600/7800 joysticks... Would this be the place for this? Is there a place for this? MinerAl
