It is wireless, thanks to a pair of Xbox 360 controllers, and connects to windows via a receiver made by microsoft. Very high WAF!!
Did you plan and build this all by yourself or are there some templates and/or instructions available on the net?
First of all Malte, thank you very much for this Addon, it's what got me inspired to finally build that controller!
There are plenty of people that have done their own arcade controls, even hacking xbox controllers, the only thing I haven't seen done a lot is using wireless donors. That is what I think made this one such a success in my living room.
The biggest challenge is soldering all those wires to the controllers, and for that there is a very good guide here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.ph...050.0.html The OP on that thread is also available for hire, he will do all the wiring for a fee. Which after doing it myself I can assure you it's probably worth it.
Button layouts and such you will find 100's scattered around the internet.
Let me know if you or anyone else decides to attempt this and I'll be happy to help.
