wiring up the keywiz max......
GroovyTuesdaY:
Getting ready to wire up my cp to a KEYWIZ MAX and need a little guidance. I have never used one of these as i have always used ipacs. I am not sure if there is a recommended method for wiring this up. In other words, on the keywiz, it shows on the one side the letters......U, D, L R, which i assume are supposed to before the arrow keys, but then right under that there is a U1, D2 etc...
So, to make life a little less complicated can someone let me know what is the best way to wire the keywiz to each particular joystick and buttons, so i wont have a big conflict within mame. In a nutshell, i just want to know what is going to give me mame compatibility out the box. Kind of like IPACS MAME or ALT function, i guess.
thanks ,

You have gotten a sheet that describes the basic Rom information. As well as the alternate Ram Information.
With that sheet I just plugged everything in, and boom worked the first time.

Actualy, I'm using your pics from this thread for reference http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=15963;start=msg125697#msg125697
In the second pic on the left, you have
U1
D1
L1
R1
U2
D2
L2
R2
These are Up, Down, Left, and Right for Joystick 1 and Up, Down, Left and Right for Joystick 2, respectively. (I recommend wiring these this way as the shift function won't work with these terminals.
On the right is 1-8 for the Player 1 buttons
On the bottom A-H are the Player 2 button 1-8 and I through P are admin buttons.

No prob. Also, http://www.groovygamegear.com/screenshots.html (second graphic) has the default key assignments, or you could E-mail RandyT if you really want the instructions.
