You can pick up a usb card for way less than $50. I'd go with a via chipset.

Do you have a different cmoputer yo ucna pop MAME onto and give it a test to rule in or out the PC causing the problem?

Panzer:
Only other comp I have is my laptop and it has no ps/2. Wife will kill me if i tell her I have to Spend $50 MORE to get the x-arcade to work.

And one other weird thing. I bought this from Fry's electronics and did ground shipping. I must say it cam ultra fast. BUT. I am pretty sure I got a refurbished model. The manual was worn and bent up. The ports on the back of the X-arcade are all chewed up from what i would guess is attaching and detaching cords and one of the pins that you would lock your (forget the connection type) in is missing so the cord out to the ps/2 port is loose.

To this point I am very disappointed.

Goz:
The Xarcade encoder is under appreciated. I have used them many times (BYOA kit) and had an occasional problem but the ammount of incident is right on par with the problems I had with the IPAC's. That being said. I may have a spare encoder laying arround without the wire harness if I do and you want to give it a shot. I'll ship it to you if you cover the shipping cost. I'll look a little later today.

PM me if interested.

Sounds like Fry's stiffed you.  I know X-Arcade are very proud about their products and have a brilliant help/support department.

If you get the one offered above and it works out ok for you I would definetely reports Fry's to X-Arcade directly, with pictures.
