That said you're not losing anything by wiring it independantly then mapping it over either. I just don't think it would be a viable solution for anything much.

Exactly, so why would you map it as a second button for "other games" like has been suggested?

Because you might as well have the functionality if you're already doing just as much work.

Sounds like more work. Instead of running 2 wires from one button to another, you need to set up another button for every game in MAME.

Not really - you just set the default setting so only one change -- but then you have the option to change for specific games if you want and also have it to use in menus etc. where you might need an extra button --- Personally I'd actually use a $10 no delay encoder with its 16 inputs for this type of setup rather than the $40 Ipac2, since he is not using anywhere near 32 inputs and the other $30 could have been used elsewhere or saved (But then I'm pretty cheap :lol )
