Control Hookup
Ending Alchemist:
Hi, i'm doing this for a school project (an awesome school project mind you) and I've spent a good few hours looking for exact instructions on how to hook up a keyboard to joysticks/buttons. I know I'm gonna use eight buttons for each side and two joysticks. I want to use a keyboard and most likely a keyboard encoder. I've seen the encoder I want to use (KeyWiz) so any help is greatly appreciated.

If you're using a KeyWiz you don't need a keyboard (apart for setting things up of course).
I believe the standard KeyWiz uses screw terminals (all you need to do is strip the insulation off your wires, and screw in place). The KeyWiz Eco requires some soldering but is cheaper...

Ok, even so, I still have no idea how i'm supposed to connect these things together and I have to know before I buy the parts because the school is paying for them and I need to purchase everything at one time.

Well even if you hooked up a wire wrong ... all you have to do is redefine the key in software in mame "Tab"
