-
i want to convert my pandoras box 4 arcade machine to pi 5.
the only thing bothering me is how to convert the joystick inputs to usbdo i need a new arcade front end or can the wiring be converted to usb?

@neogeoxsnk Doesn't PBox hook up as an XBox or PS controller natively? I run a Pandora's Box 5 and just plug it in (using both USB ports so it shows up as two controllers).

"PBox" is just me abbreviating Pandora's Box. It's not an actual thing.
My Pandora's Box 5 has two USB ports so that the whole thing can be used as a controller. I think I needed to add a line of code somewhere in a config file so that it would be recognized as two controllers. When hooking it up, you use BOTH usb ports (each side of the Pandora is treated as individual controllers).

@Thorr69 sadly my pandoras box 4s only has a vga output and two
switches for service options -
@Thorr69 i have been talking to a guy from arcade express and he says there are products on this page that can help me
