Help me decide on my next usb encoder

[dbas]

Hello guys,  i'm in the process of rebuilding an old arcade cabinet.  I'm having a hard time deciding on a USB encoder. My biggest concern is compatibility.  I've hit a brick wall far too many times with my previous setup to the point i almost lost interest.   So i'm looking into something that is close to plug&play as possible.

Windows 10 (launchbox\Bigbox)

Emulation:
Mame
Nintendo (including Wii\Wiiu)
Sega's (including arcade systes)
Sony Systems
**Steam games**
NesicaXlive
NEC systems
TaityoX
Many other Misc Arcade emulation

 

With my previous setup i had the ability of using consoles in my cabinet.  I was able to use xbox360, PS2/3.  This would be great if i can retain that ability but it isn't my top priority.  Please comment if you had previous experience or additional recommendations other than what i've chosen

 

USB Encoders:

Ipac2

Zero Delay Arcade USB Encoder

Brook Universal Fight Board

I-PAC Ultimate

let me know how that works out. my xin mo setup failed on me. not the encoder's fault, as i dropped my cp while trying to move it. anyways i'm looking for another option to try out. xin mo was cheap and worked great but i would also like to have something more plug and play with more systems other than my pc.

sure no prob....  That was my same logic.  I wanted something that was more plug&play with PC\Steam along with consoles.   This seems like a good choice so far.  My new wiring should be this  week.  I'll keep you posted.
