one button, two switches

Yes.
Wade:
Cool, I'll try that first!
vitaflo:
Let us know how it goes, I've been meaning to try the exact same thing myself.

YEah, putting it on buttons 5 and 6 is a good idea. Just to note. No one has any problems with my control panel. As I said, for mame and the majority of the time the switch is on mouse. This covers the situations about 90% of the time. Just a few pc games I play that need Enter as a key.

Then program mame or what have you to accept mouse clicks instead of keystrokes for those action buttons?

Thank you , _Iz- and Wade (and others). I have read previous explanations of how this is done but it took another description for it to finally click. I just wired my Player 1's 5 and 6 buttons to the mouse and directed Mame32 to handle them properly and it works wonderfully. I am still using the keyboard for Enter. For now. :)
