Instead, get one I-PAC4. MAME and just about every single emulator out there allows you to remap inputs, so you can make them the same. You are trying to throw hardware at a problem that can be easily solved in software. |

On one panel no, but as I stated in my original post I'm designing a multi-panel multi-emulator panel system. |
