That's IT!!!!! YEAH........
Hey Tiger......... If I dont go with Intruders great find, I have a hinged cab door with easy access to the front USB ports on the computer. It would take literally 3 seconds to switch. I gather from your comment that I can hot swap these. If so, I now have two great solutions. Thanks guys.............

Glad to be of service.
My personal opinion is to look for a software answer though.
I want someone who has never even seen my cab before to be able to walk up - select a game - and everything work as it should without having to remember to switch anything.

I would like to do so also, however I am hesitant on changing my MAME software at this current time (running MAME32 through Mamewah) because its working. It is something I will most certainly do in the future though.......its just that I have been building my cab for the last 6 months and have all these wonderful games to play and have yet to taste them. (Everything is up and running except control interfaces because I figured if I did them first I would never finish the cab) I'm itchin bad, doc....... ;D
Tiger-Heli:
What you do is back up your current MAME software and then play around with different settings and versions to see how it does.

Both are active when plugged into the computer (I assume as they are not installed yet). I know there is a switch on Oscar's site to enable one or the other, but I was wondering if there was such a thing as a USB switch which would toggle between the two devices. I have tried searching for one, but all I have found are USB switches that allows you to share with multiple computers. Anybody know??? Thanks.

Why not plug both in? Why only one at a time?
