It also seems to be a lot more reliable than the game-pads.<br/><br/>Testing so far looks like Opto-isolator is not needed, because it is built for those big buttons on arcade machines.</p> Bernie, thanks a million.

<p><br/>The Twisted Jam Single Lane format is also attached, but you will need to check if it loads from Chroncone. <br/>Twisted jam works well because it shows live ranking, and how much improvement is needed by each racer.</p>

<p>Bernie, so 13 days from my race. Played around with the Chronocone software to be comfortable. Only issue i'm having is with the brackets for head to head. In the instructions, it says if I were to have 8 racers just scroll all the way til round of 8. But what do I do if have 10 racers? It gives the first 6 people a bye which just screws up the whole bracket. Wish it would automatically give #1 and #2 qualifier a bye.....</p>

<p>Haha yeah. I'm going to buy an old cheap gamepad and take a shot at it. With some trial and error (and looking at the one I already have as an example), I think I can figure it out.</p>
