The BYOAC Wiki is one of three main sections of the [http://arcadecontrols.com/ Build Your Own Arcade Controls website]. In a nutshell this site is about building (or buying) authentic arcade controls and connecting them to your computer so that you can play arcade style games with real arcade controls instead of a keyboard or mouse. It has also diverged into similar topics, such as using game console controllers on your computer, and using arcade controls on game consoles themselves such as the Playstation or X-Box. Read "[[BYOACWiki:About|What's this all about?]]" to learn how this section came about and what it's for, or if you're already familiar with Wikis then dive right in - welcome!

Welcome to BYOAC Wiki - Build Your Own Arcade Controls

The BYOAC Wiki is one of four main sections of the Build Your Own Arcade Controls website, which primarily (but not exclusively) concerns itself with building or buying authentic arcade controls and connecting them to your computer to play arcade style games with real arcade controls instead of a keyboard or mouse. Read "What's this all about?" to learn how the Wiki section of BYOAC came about and what it's for, or if you're already familiar with Wikis then dive right in! A full index of the site is located at the Index page.


Note - this is the new wiki home. The old wiki is here.
