- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- In today's tutorial, I'll show you a very good way of making an arcade stick enclosure out of a wood-top monitor stand, and how to wire everything up. The controllers that you'll see in this episode are brought to you by my UA-cam buddy, Glen Planamento, and you'll see that they have been manufactured to the highest standards. This Arcade controller has a Tron Flight stick, spinner and trackball and is PC and Playstation 3 compatible. During today's episode, you'll see how I overcame a number of hurdles to accomplish something I've never done before... and I'm thinking you can accomplish this just as I did. All it takes is a bit of motivation!
Glen's UA-cam channel is found here: / gplanamento
Thunderstick is the manufacturer of the components and they are found at Amazon at the following links:
Tron joystick: www.amazon.com...
Trackball:

These controllers are made available on Amazon and sell out, but then are replenished, so be persistent in your attempt to obtain them. Keep going back!
The arcade buttons that I obtained were from this link: www.amazon.com...
Parts for the arcade stick enclosure:
1)Monitor stand
2) thin balsa wood
3) wood board
4) larger compressed woodfiber board
5) 1/2 inch screws
6) 3/8 inch screws
7) 5/8 inch screws
7) Woodpile Fun wood slabs (only needed if depth of monitor stand is insufficient)
8) Wood glue

Great Video. Looking forward to the next 5200 adapter video.
I want something like this but with the spinner being able to pull up and push down. The Arcade Game Discs Of Tron spinner did that.
Great videos. I asked on another video if you bought or made the controller but now I know. Subscribed.
Glen's Retro Show covers this. His company that is selling spinners has a push pull spinner as well as a more standard spinner.
Very cool video video. Thumbs up. love the idea of using a TV standard like the one in the video.
A+ 🇺🇸
Pretty cool! Not something I can drop a lot of money on right now, but it's good to have options. Nice video, man!
Thanks
Fantastic video my friend and awsome shirt :)
Appreciate that you got these made and that I'm getting the privilege to play my games with such high-quality controllers!
Great video but dude you should have just made a bottom box and fastened it with some nice screws.
I'm looking to build a 2 player USB fightstick with a spinner and trackball. Something I could use for the Atari VCS when I put it in PC mode and run MAME. Can that be done? Is there a plan for it somewhere?
I don't have the Atari VCS that was released a few years ago, so I'm not sure what the compatibility requirements are. The Atariage website has specific forums that may be up to the challenge of getting you an answer about the VCS, so check that out.
It's unfortunate. I have my set up connections exactly how you have yours. Except for the fact the Tron stick only comes with the atgames wiring and not the wiring harness that came with yours. I've tried everything I can think of to get it working but it just isn't. It's very frustrating.
I just got my Tron stick today and it didn't have the encoder board either. Unfortunately GRS no longer includes the encoder board so you have to buy a usb encoder board. But I'm just gonna wire mine to my old X-Arcade P/S 2 encoder and get a PS/2 to usb cable.
@@mgpmbass3616 ya I just rewired mine and just connected it to the USB encoder. It works fine now. However. I can't get the GRS trackball and spinner to work. They work fine with the PC but not the raspberry pi 4.
@@crashoverride576 Which usb encoder did you use? Does your encoder power the LED's? And do you have a link for the encoder?
@@mgpmbass3616 it's just a simple encoder that you get when looking for buttons on Amazon.
@@crashoverride576 Do you have a link? And does s it power the LED's?
Hi.
If I’m just using this for MAME, do I need to worry about following the diagram for the buttons all that much? In Mame, you program the buttons using the software anyway, so I’m just wondering if I’d still follow the diagram.
Thx
I put each button in a specific place for the purpose of being able to intuitively play PS3 games (and the backward-compatible PS1 games like Raiden Project within a PS3). In other words, you want the X button (PC button 2) to be on the left side of the controller and not the right side (where the joystick is). You also probably want PC button 1 (Playstation Square button) to be the trigger on the stick, so on many PC emulator games (ie. Tron or Zaxxon) the game will have you innately using that trigger to fire away. If all you're going to use it on is Mame, it may be okay to not worry too much about button placement, but at least make that trigger represent button 1 or 2 of a PC controller. You might regret it later if you don't do that.

Question for you. The new Tron sticks doesn't come with the XM-09 LED encoder, So far I got everything to work correctly expect for the wires running from the actual joystick (Blue and white and black and red), is there anyway you can give me a idea of how I go about on getting that hooked up?
Forgot to mention, the board didn't come with the 22 pin connection, but the stick did come with the two pin connectors(Connectors are metal)
I would contact the manufacturer about this issue. I only know how to get it working with what came packaged with mine.
Is it easy enough to add a second joystick and a couple more buttons to this build?
Are you planning on using it with computer games or console games?
Just with Mame on a pc
@@darrenmarchand647 Okay, I suppose you'd just need to buy a second stick (which will come with a second encoder board) and extra buttons. Run another USB cord from that second joystick encoder to the USB hub that's inside the enclosure. Then you'll have to configure how it all is utilized within Mame's controller configuration menu. It might be a little complicated, but hopefully manageable. Make sure you comment here when you succeed with this!
🕹️🕹️🕹️Yo Wired up!!, I want to replace the joystick in my Pandora's box for an Ikari Warrior style rotating joystick. Do you have a link to someone that has an exact drop in assembly so I can play those types of "move and twist" games? Also can you make a simple video on how to install the 12 way rotary joystick? Thanks man.
So I happened upon this video
ua-cam.com/video/UennRIieaA8/v-deo.html
which is about playing Ikari Warriors with keyboard and mouse (mouse doing the gun aiming and keyboard doing the WASD movement control), and saw a comment that Synthesizer Patel made just yesterday:
"If you're lucky you can find an original Happ Rotary stick on Ebay - but they're rare as Happ no longer make them and the price will reflect that.
Ultimarc make a kit which can convert a standard JLW-TM-8 (or Ultimarc's copy called the J-stick) or a Servostik - into a rotary stick."
The kit is about $60 and the JLW-TM-8 joystick runs about $30, so it's going to set you back a few bucks. No promises on a video being produced on my channel about this, but it is interesting to me... so, who knows :)
@@wiredupretro thanks Wired for the thoughtful reply. I put a few requests out on different channels. I'll give you a heads up if anyone else has an answer. I'll subscribe.
How did you connect that spinner to PC for use it wirh mame?
Used a 12-in-1 board which essentially makes it a mouse signal.
Hi. I've ordered my parts and I saw someone asked a question on Amazon on the spinner page regarding this board (Arcade1Up 12 in 1 Interface Board). Do I need this as well? You didn't have a link for this, so I'm assuming I don't?
A little before the 2 minute point in the video I showed the 12-in-1 board (it was packaged in with my spinner, but you actually have to order it separately). I also discussed it at 46 min 35 seconds in. I've got a link for it in the description now.
@@wiredupretro Got it. Thanks!
Hi. This is exactly what I’m looking for to use with Mame. Any chance you’d build one and sell it? 😋
As of right now, I've got a lot on my plate. Also- it'd be up in the upper two hundreds, so it'd be pretty expensive if you're relying on someone other than yourself to do it... that's why the tutorial is there- to save you quite a bit of $$$.
@@wiredupretro Ok thanks. I'll give it a try. How much depth do you need inside the enclosure? It looks like there's about 2"? I just want to make sure there's enough space for the base of the joystick to sit inside.
@@darrenmarchand647 Mine has a little under 2 1/2 inches of depth. It's just enough depth.
I've finally put my arcade stick/trackball/spinner together, but I cannot get the trackball and spinner to work at all. I'm only using this controller for MAME by the way. The Tron joystick works, the buttons work, the trackball LED works. However, the spinner and trackball will not work. I've tried configuring them in Mame, but it won't even detect them. Please help. I'm so close!
Do you have the 12-in-1 board (for the spinner & trackball) connected to a USB hub along with the Tron joystick? What brand of USB hub are you using?
@@wiredupretro It's an Aluratek. Both are connected.
@@darrenmarchand647 This is mine: Sabrent 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual LED Power Switches (HB-UM43) www.amazon.com/dp/B00JX1ZS5O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.X9uEbRAKG6N5
I have it hooked up to one laptop that runs Windows XP (haven't tried Mame on that computer) and it's working well, and a Toshiba Satellite Windows 7 laptop that has Mame on it (playing Tron 1982, Discs of Tron, and Zaxxon) and it works nicely. What is the operating system you are using on your PC?
@@darrenmarchand647 one experiment you might want to run is to direct connect the 12-in-1 board to the USB of your computer to see if that allows for proper mouse control.
I’ll give it a try later this afternoon. I think we’re in different time zones😋
all that and you DONT show tron?? what is wrong with you?
The month after I posted this I did a follow-up video and played multiple Tron games with this controller. Here you go:

So painful watching end connector mod - Still married? It would have been easier to cut connectors off and buy a bunch of 3/16" (0.187") 4.8mm female spade connectors from hardware store or electronics supply and re-crimp the ends. Looks that the harness was designed for Sanwa-Denshi style buttons and not Suzo-Happ. The two main styles.
Yep- my gracious wife lent a hand without much of a fuss. A real gem :)
I really wanted the Suzo-Happ buttons on this controller, but you are definitely right about how it took a significant chunk of time to get the connectors modified the way I did it when just going with Sanwa buttons would've prevented the whole issue.
