Type x2 keeping arcade cabinet controls but allowing USB arcade stick. Help?

[Arcade_Replay]

I have a Vewlix with a Taito type x2. I currently have a Capcom I/O connected for the cabinet controls. Was wondering if there’s a way to allow people to bring their USB arcade sticks to plug them in without disturbing the cabinet controls

I’m basically trying to do the same thing that the Marvel vs Capcom 2 Naomi allows you to do. Have arcade cab controls work while allowing a fight stick to be used.

Any solutions? Ideas? Help? Thanks!

How about using one of those JVS to USB Converters (2 USB Ports) one USB can go to a Brook universal fighting board and the other USB and go to a USB Pass Through Connector for USB Joysticks It would work, but it wouldn't be hot swappable. Thats all I could think of

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm trying to find out the same thing.

Yea I did. You need the 2 products shown below.

So you basically need to add an extra wire into your cabinet buttons then send it to the db15 breakaway connector into the correct spot. You then connect the brook neo geo converter into it and the usb port works with your arcade sticks. You do need to update the firmware on the converter to support more than 4 buttons but it works on my end.
