Good thing I'm an IT manager, I'll just have to buy a few for my department. . . ;-) --- End quote --- I just remembered seeing it while leafing through a Tiger Direct catalog. I actually own someting similar: a "Mextel Autokey 20/20 Macro Keyboard". They were made in the late 80's or early 90's. - Mark |

If you have any free inputs left on your IPAC, why don't you just drill 4 to 12 extra button holes, spend $4 to $12 on some buttons, and map them to the functions you need? It would be a lot cheaper than spending $80 for a keypad, and would probably end up looking better. On a side note, what admin buttons do you need? I have an Exit button on mine, and sometimes build them with a Pause button, but that's about it. I guess you could make a case for a TAB button, if you want to just plop a bunch of ROMs on there and play without preconfiguring anything. |

I completely agree that ading some extra buttons to my CP would be cheaper, however my main consideration is the time it would take. I have two young sons and a wife that's going to school. Between my job, housework, and taking care of the kids, I would probably be able to allocate 1 minute per day to this project, therefore it would be completed in 2008! Now I need to think of some additional functions to map to this key stick. So far I have: Exit Game (ESC), In-game Tab Menu (TAB), Volume control. . . Can anyone else think of some functions I could add??? |

I like: Menu Enter Escape Volume + Volume - Pause Test Reset I bet you could also use it to create links to your fav games, (Mame and Non-Mame). - Mark |

Mark, I'm not aware of what function <Enter> has in MAME32. Can you inform me? I'm pretty sure that MAME32 uses the same default keys mapped to the same default functions. can anyone verify this? |
