Pressing two buttons to get third input

Pages: (1/3) > >>

iscariot:

Hey folks, is there a simple way to have two buttons pressed together act as a third?

Seith:

Yes, but more information is needed to properly answer that question.  There are many ways to skin a cat.  Start with answering this:

What encoder are you using?

Vigo:

Are you just talking about in mame? Then Yes, easily. When you map a control, you just press both buttons you want. The control settings will say something like "Q + W". and while in game, pressing Q and W at the same time will work as that input.

The iPac has a shift function where you hold one button down and press another, and it acts like a different keystroke. I'll be using that function to have a "secret" way of dropping coins without inserting an actual coin.

In MAME, they are all "secret" unless you can get into the admin section.   :)
