LED-Wiz+GP Question

Pages: (1/2) > >>

lettuce:

I have a LED-WIZ/GP board, and am wanting to use the input part of the board, have used a LED-WIZ before for LED lighting, but never for keyboard input, as ive always had a I-PAC. I have looked on the Groovygamegear site, but cant see any info on what sort of features the input side has, does it have a shift key function like the I-PAC etc??

There is no dedicated shift function on the LED-WizGP.  However, you can pretty simply define any of the inputs as a "shift" function from within MAME, if that's what you'll be using it with.

So i would be about to set up say, P1 start button as the 'shift button' then hold this down and press say P1 button 1 so it adds a credit, or button 2 to bring up the mame in game menu, much like the I-PAC does??

Exactly.  The only limitation to this method is that it is restricted to apps which support it.  I believe Xpadder and RBJoy will allow this as well, for apps which don't do it directly.

Cool. How do you setup a button as 'shift' within MAME then?
