Are these boards available in the US?

yeah, check some shops that sell mod chips. These were primarily used for ps3 mod chips. I have about a dozen v1 models in a bag here. I can sell a few for a cheap price if you live in the states. I did a quick test and the hex works, it simulates the default keyboard strokes in mame. I just need a control panel or maybe even a portable console joystick to put this in to.  ;D

Sorry for derailing this thread, but one more question. I need outputs as well as inputs, is there a mod for this?

Thanks for the interest guys.  I think I will create a separate thread as suggested so we can discuss my encoder.

If anyone wants to have an alternate key mapping then I am happy to update the firmware for you.  I was also thinking about developing a utility on PC to configure the mappings. 

My aim is to produce a multifunction arcade interface.  I plan to have outputs as well as inputs.

For outputs,  I was looking at a few things:
Switchable 5V power output on some other pins that can be controlled via input buttons.
A delayed power 5V power output on one of the pins, like a time delay relay,  to delay the start of some peripherals on the arcade.  I will use this to delay power to audio and video while the machine starts up.
Sound output on startup.  I can have a short sound file play on start-up.  This would need to be amplified.

Sounds like some great new features.    :applaud: :applaud:
