| _JMFR:
ok, ive recently got the funds together, and decided im gonna build a mame cabinet. I was wanting to use it mainly for N64 emulation. I went to mamehouse.com and found control interfaces,but there aint enough buttons per player. Can anyone recomend me a good interface that can assign functions for EVERY button Including the D-pad? Im also thinking a trigger joystick would be great for the Z button. Also, i need some advice about the best computer for gaming at a reasonable price. $500-800 dollars Thanx to anyone who has advice! It's much appreciated |

Your question has nothing to do with MAME. |

I know its been said many times before, but its only worth repeating because its true: Start reading the Wiki thoroughly. The same advice was given to me, and I'm glad I did. Take your time, and write down every new idea that you think of as you go along. Its better to have a laid out plan, than to try and piece your project together as you go along. Good luck! Jason |

It's for BYO projects, mame, daphne, real arcade cabs, other emus, front ends, ect. He's asking about input for a n64 emu, which is totally valid topic. OP, I can't get to that "mamehouse.com" you mentioned, and never owned a n64. How many buttons is "enough"? Which n64 emu are you looking at using, or are you looking for that too? Do you want a gamepad like controller, or an arcade-like joystick controller? For a starting point, I think the U-HID and GPwiz-40 (amoung others) have plenty of buttons. |

so you want to build a cabinet to play n64 games with arcade joysticks and buttons? the n64 controller has 3 triggers, dpad, 6 action buttons, start button, and an analog stick., so you would need 14 inputs per player, plus an analog stick. just out of curiosity, why not play them with a gamepad? it would be much more natural. there are adapters that allow you to connect n64 controllers to your pc via usb, i have one and it worked ok. a modded xbox is also a great option, the n64 emulator works relatively well, and the controller has enough buttons..although due to the wacky nature of the n64 controller, there is a little adjusting involved. |
