| Franken admin panel for MAME |
| (1/17) > >> |
| jimmer:
How many buttons do I need on my admin strip? I'm going to have swappable control panels and a fixed admin panel. Admin panel and swappable panel have their own usb keyboard encoders. So far I've got: 1. ESC 2. TAB 3. Enter 4. Up 5. Down 6. Pause 7. Record Movie 8. 1P Start - 1 9. 2P Start - 2 10. Coin 1 - 5 11. Coin 2 - 6 12. User1 - O 13. User2 - K 14. User3 - ? 15. User4 - ? I've put O K in there for hacked ROMs when you get asked to wiggle the joystick or type OK. In eg Defender User1,2,3 will be use for the game adjustments (default F1,F2,9) Is coin 2 needed? I don't really know how the 2player fighters work, but I understand on eg streetfighter you can join in with someone who is already playing solo, so on that panel I would put starts and coins on the panel as well as needed. |

I'd recommend using an encoder with a shift function (e.g. ipac) to turn that entire admin panel into one button. |

just get this. its going to be cheaper and better solution that adding all those admin buttons.... http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Keyboard-Multi-Touch-920-003070/dp/B005DKZTMG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379516098&sr=8-1&keywords=WIRELESS+KEYBOARD you dont use admin buttons that frequently that they warrant a dedicated button which you or a guest will inevitably hit and screw things up. |

You should be using the mkchamp's hiscore patch to avoid pressing O K. |
