Ooooo, that gave me an idea, Jason. I have extra on/off toggle switches lying around, maybe I'll use one for fast forward so I can just click it over to ON and walk away.
jasonbar:
Cool.

Just to clarify, as I'm not sure I was clear before, but F10 "latches" into fast-forward mode, so my FF switch is just a normal momentary pushbutton arcade switch.

So, you can use a momentary switch that drives F10, or you can use a latching switch that drives INS & they both should work the same, methinks.

Thanks,

Hmm, F10 eh? I might do some remapping.... thanks

According to the site below, the F10 method and the Insert method should run at the same speed.  Insert requires you to hold down the key and F10 does not (it acts like a toggle switch).  I found that with F10 I always fast-forwarded way past where I wanted to be.  Insert gave me more control.

"F10: Toggles the speed throttling on and off. Assuming you have Throttle checked on the Display page of the Game Properties dialog, pressing F10 will remove the throttle and allow the game to run as fast as possible. To return to normal speed, you must press F10 again."

"Insert: This works in a similar way to F10, except that the throttle only lasts for as long as you hold Insert down. As soon as you release Insert, the game returns to normal speed. You can use this to skip past particular long or boring segments of a game. "
