I guess you misunderstood the tone of my reply below...maybe if I'd thrown in some smileys, things would be cool. I didn't mean to say that I'm cooler than you (I dont even know you, and believe me, I'm not that cool anyway!) or that you have some problem, Chris. And I certainly don't think that you're a 'stupid newbie' as some troll out there does. Just trying to save you some of the trouble I've had with my cabinet/controls. It's easy to think that one control can do it all in the beginning, but it really pays to get the right tools--or--controls for the job.
Mame is a good piece of software, but it has its limitations. I don't know how much money and time I've wasted trying to go the cheap route on controls, then not have things work the way I'd hoped.
Sorry for any trouble I caused or flames that I may have fanned.
