Super Joy Mated to Retro Arcade Stick

Connecting the Super Joy to the Retro Arcade Stick did not prove to be too difficult. Hardest part was probably soldering to the connectors on the Super Joy board.

Here you can see the Super Joy on the left, and the inside of the Retro Arcade Stick on the right. The red plastic holds the 2 buttons of the retro arcade, and the white plastic is where the joystick rests, there were 4 connections required for the joystick portion with a common ground to all 4.

In addition to wiring the joystick and buttons up, I also wired the start button, and on/off switch from the Super Joy to the switch and coin button on the coin slot of the Retro Arcade Stick.
Now that the controllers are connected, they will be mounted into an 18 inch cabinet.
