A gamepad doesn't have enough buttons, so what would be the best way of going about hacking a keyboard or something else for use with a mame cab?

wooowman93:

its crazy hard and doesn't work good and takes a lot of time.

just get the keywiz from ggg

I'd prefer to not wait 2 weeks to get controls working.....

If you don't know what you're doing, you will spend more than 2 weeks futzing around with a keyboard hack.  A joystick hack is easy (depending on the gamepad you destroy), but you have to own one or have a local store to get one from to save yourself from that 2 weeks.  Just order an encoder and you will likely have it within a week anyway.

I live in canada ---Cleveland steamer--- takes forever. I'm going back to school in a few weeks I don't want to ---fudgesicle--- around with it then. All I need is a tutorial on how to use a keyboard for it. A gamepad doesn't have enough buttons.
This is a "Arcade Controls" forum isn't it or am I mistaken?
