Rapid fire buttons for cheaters like me
(1/1)
NoBonus:
Is there any way to program a standard button as rapid fire other than hacking a gamepad with rapid fire (which I have done and love) or pushing the button real fast? I know, I know, it's not authentic and I am a filthy cheater jerk, but I don't care. I just want to play games like Wrestlemania without making enough noise to annoy a construction crew.

Gameboy.au:
If you can find a microswitch that when you push the the button down it dowsn't close the circuit, but sends a pulse (many times for your request), then yes. Or even more simpler, there are switches available that are push on-push off, so pushing it once will set autofire on.
Otherwise, no. ;D
Lilwolf:
Some keyboard encoders can do it (the late great MK64 could... but didn't do a great job with repeats).
the best is to download a version of mame that does it. Mameplus I think handles it. I don't remember what others. That way you can set the games you like repeats in... without messing up others.

This won't work - This just creates a stuck down switch and MAME does not read this as Radid-Fire. Play Tiger-Heli. With the Fire button held down, the ship shoots about 3 times a second, much slower than you could press it.
MAMEPlus is a good idea, if it works.
Or you could build this - http://members.rogers.com/druins22/arcade/rapid.html
There was also a very old thread on the board discussing this.
