Title: Portable MAME controller?
Post by: J.Max on September 28, 2008, 07:28:51 pm

Haven't posted here in a while...

I've been wondering about the possibility of a portable controller for MAME.  I'm using a laptop right now, so a normal control panel is impractical.  Anyone ever done small enough to stick in a laptop bag?  I'm thinking of a hack of a Sony PSOne controller or something to add a spinner-type control and a trackball (maybe thumb-sized).

for portability? XBOX360 wired controller

other wise any of the console style single player controllers is the best bet

I snagged one of these the other day, Lovin it.  I got mine for 30 shipped, but a ton of people on Shoryuken have been buying them so the sellers have been sneaking the price up a bit.

Completely plug and play... I've been using it to play Vampire Savior during class lately ; )
