Title: Hacking 19-in-1 board to use DEFENDER HYPERSPACE
Post by: vernimark on July 26, 2016, 12:33:24 PM

Hi there,
I bought a 19-in-1 board in order to have a backup of my Williams boardset but I discovered that the board doesn't support the HYPERSPACE button
Here a hack to do that; I hope this can be useful for you.

Very interesting Marco!! Is the Emulation of Defender any good on the 19in1? I am looking for a JRok Multi-Williams for ages but can't find one. Maybe the cheapo-version will do the trick at least for a while ;)

I couldn't distinguish the real boardset from the 19-in-1 emulation. Impressive.
But I'm not a good defender player so I dunno if playing very fast you can find lacks

Ok! I will try a test then. Is the sound ok? Most of the times the sound of the multiboards sucks big time. Jesus. I guess I will go to hell as soon a place that damn thing in the cab.  :twisted:

Perfect!! I will see if I can find adapters etc. in the meantime. Don't want to hack the original wiring too much.
