| Will any USB button controller work with most emulators? |
| (1/1) |
| TGov:
As I am gathering parts for my first cabinet build I found a USB button controller board that I had forgotten about. It was originally going to be used to make a button box for racing sims on the PC, but I solved that with the steering wheels I built, so I didn't need it. It has 32 solderless button connections and shows up as a game controller in windows. My question is, will this work ok for most games and emulators in MAME? The machine this is going in will have a vertically mounted screen, so it will mostly be old games. The cabinet will be a Donkey Kong restoration so it will only have a 4/8 way joystick and about 6 buttons total. Three for the CP and three hidden for admin purposes in the frontend. It is this board specifically. http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86&products_id=205 Thanks for the input. |

Since it shows up as a game controller, you should be able to use joy2key or xpadder software to map the inputs to the desired functions. Scott |

That is kind of what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation :) That will save me a few bucks. |
