I'm saying to check if the PC that is to be used has a ps/2 port or not. |

It does fine with NEOGEO stuff, so I dont see why getting a lame wally world PC would be a bad idea (since you can get some really cheap ones that have specs much higher than needed for most MAME games). As per legacy I/O, I dont think it matters much, for anything you have that needs it, there are cheap adapters out there. All this "legacy" talk seems more like picking nits to me... When it comes down to it, at the end of the day, it doesnt really matter... :dunno |

I was referring to patrickl's post about most computers not coming with ps2 ports. If you're recycling a pc, then that most likely is not the case. Anyhow, you can get usb interfaces that work just as well, so - I'm with you, it doesn't really matter! :cheers: |
| patrickl:
Well it does matter if you buy the ps/2 solution and then find out your computer doesn't have the ps/2 connector that you assumed it had. Other than that indeed it doesn't matter. So again, simply check before you buy and don't assume that it has ps/2. |

It's status is checked every time the GPIO interrupt is triggered, --- End quote --- No additional cycles are used by the pass-through when idle. I would not make this statement if it were not true. Its very strange being told, incorrectly, how my own code works. End of discussion on this subject as I don't want to have to apologize for boring everyone and I also don't want to explain how it works in any more detail than I already have. |
