    Hi guys.
    I have an mvs setup with a supergun using a ps2 controller.Not totally happy with this controller as I have a mayflash arcade stick with USB and ps2 connection gathering dust here.I have an adaptor for ps2 to supergun but that doesn't work with the non official stick.I would like to convert it to be a dedicated neo geo with db15 connection.Can anyone advise me about the process this involves as the last 2 days I'm crawling the web with no luck.Is it just a straight wire connection or do I have to solder to the pcb?I have the neo geo cord on the way from japan.Cheers guys..

    You should be able to wire up all the buttons & joystick directly to the NeoGeo cable.

    Depending on the construction of the Mayflash stick, if the buttons are mounted to the PCB its a bit of a pain with cutting tracks etc.
    If everything is just wired up, they rip out the PCB and solder up the Neogeo cable directly to the buttons.

    You can send me the stick to convert or I can try and add support to the supergun firmware for it if you want.

    Cheers bandit thanks a lot for the offer.As much as I would like to send it to you I wouldn't expect you to my friend you've done enough to get me going:)I'll probably buy a sanwa pack and wire straight to them seems the best option.Costs are mounting this retro habit is getting expensive:)
