for $30 on Amazon I couldn’t help buy pick one up. For modding purposes lol
stage 1 - confirm you can inline wire a stick to the control panel pcb. Done. I thought I’d have to lift the signal to cross the pot threshold but luckily just by picking the right pinout I was able to funny control the system with a Sanwa stick.
Stage 2 - wire in buttons. Tested but not shot
stage 3 - build the pcb’s from the Mini into a custom enclosure with full arcade stick / buttons.
Not even sure why I am doing this as I already have an AES with a large collection lol. Just wanted to see if it could be done!
