The idea for this project came a few years after i hear of mame in 1999. I went threw a bunch of game controllers and they were ok.

    Then i found Kaillera a program that lets you play emulated games online. I played a game against this guy who was real good and i asked what controller he was using. He said he was using a arcade joystick from Mas Systems.

    I saw the joystick and it looked pretty cool so i wanted to look for more sites about the stick. While doing a search on google i found the build you own arcade controls website. It also mentioned that the mas systems controller is crap.

    The site had a huge list of examples for arcade machines and control panels. I looked at all of them and i decided to build a modified version of the arcade joystick at the cps2shock website
