I got a "Game-Elements Recoil" pad from Wal-Mart for about $15. It comes with it's own software that lets you assign button presses to any key you want. Also has a nice feature in that the USB cable is a ribbon cable and retracts into the pad case so it's not a mess to keep around on my desk-if nothing else, it might reduce some wire clutter inside your cabs. |

Thanks for all the suggestions. Hmmmm, maybe I should reconsider the gamepads. $15 a piecs isn't too bad. I didn't realize that you could remap buttons to keys with those. |

The atomarcade.net controller is suppose to work on any OS. I haven't tested it personally on OS9 but you could always email them from their site and ask if it does. Plus it is fairly inexpensive @ $23.95 + $6 shipping. On a side note it also comes with trackball/analog inputs if you need them. Just another option. ;) |

sorry to chime in so late on this topic, i've made 5 mame machines runnin macs with os 9 and earlier. of course both usb gamepads and the usb ipac work great for this. after much testing and troubleshooting it is just easier to go the ipac route. sometimes when you have more than one usb gamepad plugged in they will switch places in the usb chain when you restart. its very random and very frustrating, player 1 and 2 swap, its enough to drive you crazy, however if you can get by with only one gamepad your golden, more than one go with the ipac. edited for terrible spelling sorry.... |
