DaOld Man:
Also, maybe I missed something here, but coin credit for player 2 is keyboard number 6, for mame default anyway. Player 1 credit is number 5.

Turnarcades:
Still can't quite gather if this is programmable or not. Sterling work on asking the community for input, but if it's not programmable then I think it would need to be significantly cheaper than established and feature-loaded encoders like the I-PAC family and GP-WIZ to warrant a purchase, particularly given the support offered with these existing products.

I completely agree with this statement, while personally providing nothing new of value, myself.

Ok, so here's my thing.  (I lied - here's something of value.)  If it's comparable to a IPAC/GPWiz/Keywiz that's great.  It's certainly in the ballpark.  What I note is that, for the 'deluxe' model with what looks like a bit less configurability (is it configurable via software - if so, we need to know) than a KeyWiz/GPWiz, yet costs a dollar more.

Your thoughts?

KuddlKat:
I'm still a newbie here working on my first controller... but I'd think that 6 buttons per player is fine, 1P/2P start and use the other two for coin, pause, escape... if those are options.

The controller I bought has double row headers and came with wire and connectors (although I doubt everything will reach when I'm done making the box), so using headers and including header connectors might be an option too.

Unrelated to the actual question... I wanted to ask if the board has mounting holes?  Sorry, I'm in QC/Assembly...
