MAME keys - encoder question
Ash...Housewares:
I have a keyboard encoder that doesn't have the <up> <down> <left> <right> connections on it. Should I be concerned that this doesn't allow me to set my controls to the MAME defaults?
I know that many game's controls are reprogrammable but I understand that some are not. If I use this encoder, will I be missing out on some gaming glory?
Thanks,

Stobe:
Is the encoder re-programable? If so, you can map the inputs to the keys you want.
If not (or if you're not sure), you should be able to set the controls inside Mame (or whatever emulator) to the inputs you do have.
With the availability of several quality encoders out there for good prices, how did you end up with the one you have? (Just curious, no offense intended of course).

Unfortunately, it's not re-programmable.
No offense taken. I have this encoder because I didn't have much money when I bought it off e-bay almost a year ago and just assumed (like an idiot) it would have those inputs, but it didn't. :-[
So, you think I can get away with playing all of the games if I just take a litte time to remap the keys?

What brand and model is it? Or is it just a glorified keyboard hack?

It's one of those "Two Bit Score, Inc." boards form the wolf man.
