o RetroRadionics have made a ‘Y’ cable available so that
both buttons can connect to the same point on the
circuit board. This is now included with all ArcadeR
shipments
• Why do I have to modify my ArcadeR to get it working
properly on different computers?
o It’s important to note that the ArcadeR will work fine
as a single button joystick on all compatible
machines.
o The problem occurs when extra fire buttons or
autofire are required. There’s no single standard for
how a joystick interface is wired, despite them all
using the same 9-pin connector.
• Are all Sanwa accessories compatible?
o At present, the only accessories that may not work
are oversize actuators. This is due to the
microswitches in the ArcadeR stick being lever arm
type (which reduces the clearance between the stick
and the switch), whereas in the original JLF the stick
actuator engages directly with the actuator button of
the microswitch.
o Whilst some users have reported problems with
larger actuators, others have found they work fine.
• Why are there two sets of wires in the box?
o The current ArcadeR ships with two additional wiring
harnesses.
