wheel.   This would be good if used with a spinner...

I think finding one that works within MAME is going to be a trick.  Volumouse was a bust, at least under 98.  For some reason, The sensitivity didn't work quite right either.

I don't know how silly it is.  What makes you think everyone hacked the amp that is in their machine or would even want to?  That kind of thing is a pretty substantial task when compared with simply plugging a Griffen device into the USB port.

Personally though, rather than take the chance that the controls would get screwy by attempting to dual-purpose them, I'd just prefer a simple, dedicated volume control knob somewhere on the machine.

I still would like a clean solution that doesn't have a wire sticking out, can mount permanently, doesn't have a big base, a blue glowing light, and stays connected. My powermate likes to disconnect and I have to replug the USB. It will then work for a few hours or a few weeks. It also is just sitting on my jukebox and not mounted.

Yeah I liked the original idea.  I may have to experiment with this in C#.  I found an article on capturing global keystrokes and mouse events: (http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/globalhook.asp) .  Really, the only remaining item would be to adjust the volume in windows which I imagine isn't very difficult.  I'll keep you guys updated.
