I think I've seen that second option somewhere I suppose I could search, but I'm at work and shouldn't even be reading the forum right now. I imagine some combination of relays and diodes could make 1 button trigger shazam and another keypress.

If you really wanted a dedicated button on the panel, then a "Shazaaam! Adapter" is what you'd need (or make one yourself with a couple of diodes.
But to be honest, I gave up on the software under 98. I tried installing the .NET framework on my machine and it just hung after decompressing the files. Tried everything to no avail. Tried it on another 98 machine, and was able to get the .NET framework installed. But then when I tried to run the app, it complained of a security policy problem, which I was unable to figure out how to rectify using the .NET configuration tool. I think the next time someone complains about programs done in VB, I'll just tell them to be thankful they didn't use .NET. :P
I'll give it a go under XP and see what happens....hopefully .NET 2.0 already lives in the OS somewhere and it will work.

I'm pretty sure it's not already included unfortunately. It used to appear as a non-critical windows update, but I haven't checked in a while.
OK I think it's pretty much ready to go. I added the pref saving and everything seems to work well (tested on 3 different machines). Please let me know if anyone has any problems with it.

Ok, I installed .NET Framework 2.0 on the XP machine and it worked. I don't have MAME on that machine so I couldn't test it. But if you tested it under MAME and it worked, then that's cool.
Just curious, did you use the 98 exclusionary method?
Also, is there any way to connect the control to the Master volume level rather than the Wave output?
Nice job.
