Re: Few questions before building a control panel

: : i've been reading up a lot on assembling a control panel with an encoder card from hagstrom. Before i start to order the parts, ive a few questions. : : 1) Some games use ctrl and alt for triggers, others that have up to 6 buttons, use characters on the keyboard. How can i set mame to use the same keystrokes for triggers on all games? Without this, i wont really know which pin on the encoder to match with a keystroke when each game is changing. : Hit tab in mame and setup input general. : : 2) When playing a new game, one always must type in 'ok' to access the game, how do i get around that because i may not have the o and k chars on the control? : Either recompile mame or push left then right on player one. : : 3) When installing a trackball and spinner, do they both run as mice but the spinner has the y-axis removed? : Yeah : : 4) In conjunction with 3, do they just get plugged into the the mouse port and are they completely independant of the encoder? : Well, if USB jusr a usb port, sicne they are mouse hacks.
