A couple button questions
struby:
I am about to build my cabinet, it is fairly simple, and uses 4 Pelican Real Aracade Stick (Universal) setups with adapters, a computer, edit: MAME32, maybe an xbox, 2 light guns, 19 inch tv etc... Anyway, here is some information for my 2 questions:
It seems I have 2 different versions of the Pelican Real Arcade Stick (Universal), 2 of one kind, and 2 of the other, one kind is a little smaller, came in an orange/blue box, and has no cord storage compartment, the other kind is a little larger, came in a Yellow/Blue box, and has a cord storage compartment. They both work, but on the smaller one, the 2 buttons next to mode don't work, and a couple of the other buttons have unorderly button number assignments, it shows up in game controllers in windows as a 4 in 1 wheel, the larger joysticks work fine in all ways I can tell, and show up as a squiggly symbol then a b (integral symbol in math).
1st Question: Is there any way I can make the smaller ones work like the larger ones, with all buttons working and in order?
2nd Question: If I can't get those 2 extra buttons on the two smaller controllers working, or even if I can how can I rig up some extra buttons on my control panel easily?
Edit: 3rd Question: Random question, can I run chd files off of a cd if my computer doesn't have enough room left?
Thargok:
While you probably could run CHDs off of a CD if you tinkered enough. You could also tow a car by horse everytime you needed to go somewhere. That said, your HD is much faster.

Ok thanks, does anyone know about my other 2 questions?
SirPeale:
Now I'm curious. I do wonder how slowly the system will load a CHD from a CD. Mame writes all info to the hard drive regarding CHDs (ie DIFF) so R/O is fine...hm...TESTING TIME! Who wants to go?
struby:
I'll test it if someone sends me a cd with all the chd's on it :) just kidding, at this point, I don't have any working chd's.
