Rather than using 2 LP24's, just use one in a matrix. To stop ghosting add some diodes. 50 diodes has to be cheaper than a second LP24
: Keyboard hack isnt looking like a good option. Im thinking maby of getting a card to add some more game ports & doing a kb hack + jsticks...of the 50 inputs 14 are not used in game play leaving only 36 that are needed in the heat of action. The other 14 are the four player starts & 4 credit buttons & 6 buttons for mame, P for pause, F3 for reset, ` for volume, enter, tab for menu, esc to quit. I would like to have the first joystick be the arrow keys so I can use it to nav in mame & the custom interface im gonna write. Any thoughts? Can you use 2 LP24 encoders together somehow without a big performance loss?
