Hi, guys!
The LPT-switch, works!!
My portugesse friend, told me.
It's the easiest way to achieve a good interface for our controls.
The only "bad" thing about this great interface, it's only for win, not Ms-dos (i Think there's no dos drivers available)
BTW, there's a link (a spanish forum), when me and other guys, working on it.
http://www.forumcommunity.net/?t=1104461&st=15I made the interface this weekend, and only rest to put the diodes 1N4148 on it.
By default, the directional arrows for each joystick are:
Connection number 1 to 4 are the directions of player 1, the rest of the connections are from 5 to 30, these connections will be buttons (you may remap all the functions, on the mame's options)
From 31 to 34 connections are the directions for player 2, and the rest of connections, 35 to 60, will be the buttons of 2 player.
And yes, the 4700ohm resistor is not needed, only need the 1N4148 diodes to avoid the "gosthkey" effect.
Cheers.
P.D.: Sorry for my english again
, I hope that this text will be understandable.
