: Has anyone tried using one of these cards to run to joypads simultaneously. I have one and want to wire my joystick & buttons to the PCBs of two four button game pads. Will I be able to use all 8 buttons toghether without ghosting etc?
: A three button mouse will provide extra buttons taking me up to 11 so my keyboard would only need to have 1 key assigned for gaming (six per player)& the rest can be start buttons etc.
: Any help greatly appriciated.

I have not. I use the L4 by PDPI. It is an ISA card that gives you 4 gameports for analog controls. Act Labs carries them at http://www.act-labs.com/pdpi_l4.htm
I have tried four 6-button stick pads with mine and it saw every single button press and stick movement perfectly. Mame (dos) does not support it (more accurately Allegro doesn't have support for it) but it is supported in Windows and works awesome with Mame32. It is nice to play 4 player Gauntlet like we used to.
