Fred Flintstone's MM controller?
« on: September 11, 2008, 09:34:05 pm »
Recently updated my software and my son LOVES the Fred Flintstone Memory Match game.
I'd like to quickly build him a stand-alone controller for it..before the fad wears off. ;)

For those unfamiliar with the game, it uses 9 buttons in a 3x3 grid.
The Mame default is to use the #keypad for the 9 buttons. It works but it could be better.

So any ideas on the easiest way to go about this? I'm already running a Keywiz on this machine so I'm guessing I'll have to go USB.

Yea thanks, I think that would be easiest. USB and it has the keys I need.

Not much of a hacker myself though. :P
If anyone has ever tried to solder one of these up I'd appreciate some input.

If nothing else, one of these sitting up on the CP would be an improvement.
