DB15 - Any cable ok?

[trenton_net]

Hey gang,

For most Supergun / Neo Geo compatable setups, they use DB15 connectors for the controller. I assume any DB15 cable would be fine for this? The reason I ask is because I see computer stores sell these cables sometimes since they were used for game ports and such. I assume even though those type of cables look like they're for the PC (with screws on them, etc), that they'll work perfectly fine anyway?

 

[Atro]

yes.

Ah great. I was worried some pins might not be connected or that it might not be a 1:1 pass-through cable (Like parallel cables sometimes are).

Damn. I wish I'd read this sooner. I have plenty of those.....

The PC ones with the screws don't work well as controller extensions because they need to be modified and the female ends aren't deep enough. Looks for the black extensions online instead.

Ah, thanks for the tip. I would have had no idea the female ends weren't deep enough!

Oh! I thought you were referring to the DB15 male connectors...I was under the impression you were building a Super Gun...
