A couple button questions
(1/2) > >>
struby:
I am about to build my cabinet, it is fairly simple, and uses 4 Pelican Real Aracade Stick (Universal) setups with adapters, a computer, edit:  MAME32, maybe an xbox, 2 light guns, 19 inch tv etc...  Anyway, here is some information for my 2 questions:

It seems I have 2 different versions of the Pelican Real Arcade Stick (Universal), 2 of one kind, and 2 of the other, one kind is a little smaller, came in an orange/blue box, and has no cord storage compartment, the other kind is a little larger, came in a Yellow/Blue box, and has a cord storage compartment.  They both work, but on the smaller one, the 2 buttons next to mode don't work, and a couple of the other buttons have unorderly button number assignments, it shows up in game controllers in windows as a 4 in 1 wheel, the larger joysticks work fine in all ways I can tell, and show up as a squiggly symbol then a b (integral symbol in math). 

1st  Question:  Is there any way I can make the smaller ones work like the larger ones, with all buttons working and in order?

2nd  Question:  If I can't get those 2 extra buttons on the two smaller controllers working, or even if I can how can I rig up some extra buttons on my control panel easily?

Edit:  3rd  Question:  Random question, can I run chd files off of a cd if my computer doesn't have enough room left?
Thargok:
While you probably could run CHDs off of a CD if you tinkered enough.  You could also tow a car by horse everytime you needed to go somewhere.  That said, your HD is much faster.

Ok thanks, does anyone know about my other 2 questions?
SirPeale:
Now I'm curious.  I do wonder how slowly the system will load a CHD from a CD.  Mame writes all info to the hard drive regarding CHDs (ie DIFF) so R/O is fine...hm...TESTING TIME!  Who wants to go?
struby:
I'll test it if someone sends me a cd with all the chd's on it  :)    just kidding, at this point, I don't have any working chd's.
