I've found that my keyboard hack works just fine, INCLUDING fighting games (at least Neo-Geo ones). I get 8 simultaneous key-presses, which seems to be plenty (tho' I am not terribly conversant in the combos). If you take the time to map the matrix, you should be in good shape IRT ghosting. Good luck!
: This would require a keyboard that could detect at least 16 simultaneous keypresses. Very doubtful you can find one like that.

: : If you do your research on keyboard hacks (mameworld is a great resource), you can easily make a keyboard hack that will allow you to have two joysticks with 6 buttons each with *NO* blocking.
: : It takes some time to figgure out what buttons to use, and some time to tell MAME what they are, but it works fine.
