KeyWiz 1.5 & Assigning 2 buttons to one command???

(1/5) > >>

stace:
Guys,

I want to wire two coin buttons to the same key command.  Is there any reason why I shouldn't do it??

There a few extra buttons I want to add to my cab and it will make me one input short (I'm using a keywiz 1.5).  My thought was, if I wire both of the credit buttons to the same input, irrelevant of which is pushed will still give credit.

I only went with two credit buttons for aesthetics, I don't need them to do anything different?

Will 'dual' wiring cause me problems with the key-wiz, I don't want to blow it up or anything!!


Thanks
Stace

I have the keywiz eco and I did something similar.  I have a couple buttons next to my spinner that are wired to to button 1 and 2 for player 1.  I'm not connecting both directly to the keywiz but to the buttons.  I haven't had any problems.  I think this is a pretty common practice and used a lot when you have an eight way and dedicated four way joysticks for player 1.

Wiring two buttons to an input is not a problem.

There are a few games (Gauntlet is one I believe),  that require separate coin inputs for each player, but if you don't care about these.

Another option is to use the one-click Shazaaam! adapters that RandyT's sells for a couple of additional inputs.

Hope This Helps!!!

My other option might be to wire to buttons to the 'enter' command then?

Enter for mame and then maybe map enter to the plunger for pinball???

What do you think?

I'm not following you, but I probably need more info on what you're doing.
