Well, I'm taking a look at this keyboard that I recently took apart, and I'm wondering if this ghosting stuff is going to be any real problem. The matrix is 9x17 connections, so I figure there are probably enough possibilities without having ghosting.
Now ghosting only occurs when many buttons are held down at once, right? If you've made your project with a keyboard hack, what's the most number of buttons you've wired up simultaneously without problems? I know that I need at least 23 connections for a two player stick that can work with Street Fighter 2. Maybe if I can't do it, I'll just make a one player stick.
Guess I'll know by this weekend...
