Wiring quesion...
BorgWarner:
I have a couple more buttons than I have inputs on my I-Pac, what would happen if I wired two buttons into one input? They would be buttons that would never be both used for the same game.
cholin:
If you wired two buttons to the same input, it would be the same function. They would do the EXACT same thing, you cannot program them differently.
CheffoJeffo:
It would return the same keystroke, which is different from performing the same function ... he could change the default controls within MAME (or other emulator, depending) and have the same button return the same keystroke, but do two totally different things in two different games.
Question to BW ... can you solidify your question with an example ?
Cheers
BorgWarner:
I have a 5'th joystick for 4-way operation. I would wire the buttons that go with it to maybe the 4 player buttons, since it is unlikely I would ever use both for the same game. I would probably do the same with the pinball buttons and the player 3 buttons. It shouldn't be a problem that they perform the same keystroke, as long as it doesn't cause any other problems. (delay, etc)
