New StandAlone Panel Build Idea
KuddlKat:
So... has anyone tried this to answer the original question? Basically, connecting a flash drive and controller board through a USB hub and noticing any lag in the controller or problems with file access.
Originally, I was planning on connecting my controller board (cheap-o) and a mouse hack trackball with a hub and wondered about power requirements when I came across this thread in my search. Sounds like a great idea, so if I was using a hub anyway it would be cool to add an 8GB flash drive too (even if it is just to store the MAME files).
Oh, this is going in a stand-alone controller box too, so I hoped it would be only USB-powered.

it would work fine, need to do some more research on the front end needed... im still planing on doing something similar to this, but got a cab i am building and i have one i need to paint... We shall see how well it goes...
