I'd like to scan standard codes too.

: Okay well, I need help, and I am sure that everyone would benefit to this!

: I have one of those cue cat readers, that radio shack gives out for free. a friend of mine and I worked on neutering it, or hacked it so it acts as a regular barcode reader, rather then the other crap that it is. It now gives out the charactors that it is supposed to, thus you put a bar code in, and it scans properly the barcode.

: I love my arcade os front end on my cab. I was wondering if there was a way for me to have a barcode correspond to each game, and when I scan in a barcode, it will load that game directly. The beauty of the scanner is, it doesn't use up any ports. It goes through the keyboard port, and you can plug your key encoder to the device.

: If someone could help me with this, imagine with your cab, selecting each game with a swipe of a barcode, rather then searching it one by one. I think my idea is a far cooler, and more efficent use of the program

: Thank you definatly in advance! This message board is the greatist for quesitons.

: LONG LIVE MAME!
