Once again thanks Tiger and all who chipped in early in this thread.

I'm sure i'll have more questions to come!

I have big plans ahead! :)

The best reference on keyboard hacking is on www.mameworld.net. look down the left hand side of the mains screen for emuadvise and find the keyboard hack tutorial there.

If you've got wire and time, you can hack a 2 joystick, 6 button per player control panel. Mine took me two hours of decoding and wiring. In gameplay, I found I had used both  the alt key and the enter key, so I had to change a couple wires around.

It plays perfectly, but most keyboard encoders only have 16 "columns", so 2 sticks with 6 buttons each is the max. (or 4 sticks and 3 buttons, or 1 stick with 14 buttons.)
