Hi I am thinking of building a Williams 1981 ms pac-man cabinet for some of the old school games from that period. I think gameex is undoubtedly the FE I will use with Mame, but as we all know the Control Panel is small on this cabinet. My question is can I use a multi-function joystick to control the on screen pointer to navigate Gameex or would I need a trackball?
I don't really want to use a trackball so if I can't use the multi-function joystick, then to save space I was thinking of placing a touch pad, (see photo below) to the side of the cabinet as I don't need a trackball for the games I play. Any suggestions or help with this would be appreciated.
