MAME and "Type ok"
Howard_Casto:
Yup, it's on the lazarus homepage.... Upon the next release it will have much more though... things like psuedo translucent in game menus with definable colors multi mice support, ect. That is if the respective mame build creators don't mind me swiping some code. ;D

Yes, keyboards work too. (try pressing left - right (or the keys mapped to left and right) on your keyboard instead of O - K)

Not exactly, MAME is looking for "O or L Arrow or Joystick X-" and "K or R Arrow or Joystick X+", so if your keyboard hack uses "Y" for Left and "G" for right, you won't be able to get past this screen. You can avoid this without recompiling by reassigning keys: I found my old notes for it here: http://www.mameworld.net/emuadvice/ok.doc

Okay, if you want to get technical ;) , MAME is looking for "O or [UI_LEFT]" and "K or [UI_RIGHT]". (like your notes at http://www.mameworld.net/emuadvice/ok.doc say.) IMO, you should map UI_left and (game)left to the same inputs, and UI_right the same as (game)right, UI_up & up, etc, but that's up to you. However this way, if your keyboard hack uses "Y" for Left and "G" for right, you would also use "Y" for UI_Left and "G" for UI_Right, which would mean you would be able to get past the screen.
But you are right I should have said "try pressing leftArrow - rightArrow, which are the default UI_left - UI_right, or, if you changed them, the keys/buttons/joystickdirections mapped to UI_left and UI_right)..." Thanks for correcting me.

You'd be amazed at how many people don't know about the O K thing with the left and right, it is in the mame faqs.
