Joystick vs keyboard interfaces and non-MAME games
shponglefan:
I recently came across the issue with SF IV for the PC that apparently the game won't allow two players via the keyboard. One player has to be assigned a joystick.
Are there other PC games or emulators which have this limitation as well? I'm still trying to decide whether to go with keyboard or joystick-based control interfaces.
Any other pros/cons to be aware of?

Cool, so SF IV works. :applaud:
PL1:
Visual Pinball and Future Pinball have a few fixed keyboard functions like Esc to exit. and FP doesn't seem to want to accept joystick encoder buttons for programmable functions.
Joy2key or xpadder might work, but I've never used them. :dunno
Keyboard-type encoder is the way to go IMHO, since you don't have to deal with reassigned joystick IDs (I know--drventure's got the fix for it in his sig) or other software like joy2key or xpadder.
