Almost :)
You won't need a button to set the mode. It will switch with just the rotary.
Also, don't forget to run a wire from the "JoyMode" input to ground and leave it there. Then you'll need to cycle power or re-insert your USB connector so it goes into the proper mode.
To know what mode you are in, you have to do what every other rotary selector does and that is to have an indicator knob and some kind of legend (mode icons, etc) printed around it on your CP, or wherever you intend to mount the switch, so that when it is pointed at a mode, that's the mode it's in.

Using a rotary for a coctail would be a pretty good solution then, the only thing you'd need is one additional hole for the rotary switch itself.
It could be a CP mount, or cleverly hidden inside, or even on the coin door.

Ok that's what I thought.
Can you still use a shazaam button if you are using the rotary switch method? I know this was discussed in another thread, but the way they explained it confused me.

No and you drop down to 15 buttons instead of 23. You could still do the equivalent of the Shazaaam! button by setting button combo's in MAME, though.
