The first version of my control panel was built by hacking a keyboard, but I had masking
problems, and possibly problems with the number of concurrent key presses. Not to
mention Food Fight acted funny!
To solve the problems I used:
two cheap, hacked, Comp USA joysticks,
a joystick cable adapter (to use the dual joysticks
fewer keys from my hacked keyboard.
I now use the -joy dual option to play Mame.
This version works great. I recommend this to anyone having problems with their
keyboard hacks. All standard joystick ports support two joysticks with two buttons
each. You just need a adapter to plug two joysticks into the single connector.
