Best keyboard interface for 3 sided cocktail?

<< < (2/2)

vimfuego:
Thanks folks, appreciate the responses.
I was planning on using MaLa as well, so if I got the IPAC-4 I would at least be totally covered off with regards to the 4 player thing. Not having used MaLa before I'm not sure how configurable it is, but if I was to be playing something like Wonderboy on the front two joysticks (I'll call them inputs 1 & 2), then switch to a vertical game like Galaga, can it automatically assign what might be joystick input 3 as Player1 controls?
I guess what I don't want to end up doing is going over every horizontal and vertical game to individually configure Joy 1 & 2 to horizontal games and Joy 3 & 4 to vertical games. If that is the case then I am probably better off just wiring the P1 and P2 controls for Horizontal and Vertical in parallel and tell people not to fiddle  ;)

I have a miniPAC (2 player) in my 3 sided cocktail.  Haven't had any issues with the mischief mentioned above -- works great.  If MAME had a 'vertical.cfg' and 'horizontal.cfg' to allow custom input mapping by game orientation, I think I would go for the 4 player interface, but I don't believe it does.  I can't imagine going through every game and remapping.
