Thanks.. when I get a chance I will do this and report back.

This is how I have mine set up.
A great program to help with other emulators, if you use them, that do not allow for mouse inputs is Xmouse - http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm which will let you map your mouse buttons to keyboard keys on a per application basis.

I put those buttons as the bottom row of player 1, then just reconfigured the MAME defaults.
For example, in a game like Street Fighter that uses all the buttons
1 2 3 are regular MAME/IPAC defaults
4 5 6 are mouse 1, 2 and 3 remapped in MAME as 4, 5 and 6.

OK, I've finally gotten around to doing this, but when I hit tab in a game and go to player 1 controls, then try and make button 1 and button 2 the mouse buttons, it doesn't recognize that I'm hitting anything.
Do I need to do this in a .cfg instead? Could you explain how you remapped the buttons?
Thanks

I wound up just making a project box that had three buttons on it. The front of my control panel has a flip-up door, and I attached it inside just above my coin door to the right. I just flip the panel up and reach under for mouse buttons, and use player 2's stick as the mouse (U360).
Works great and keeps mouse buttons off my main panel.

You may need to tell MAME to use the mouse. I don't know about regular MAME, but I know MAME32/MAMEUI has a selection for it. I use that when I play Tron, using the mouse as a spinner and the buttons on the mouse as the fire button (doesn't work as good, but I can still get over 100K)

OK, I went into a game (mk3) and got everything set up EXACTLY the way I wanted it under the default controls. It worked perfectly, mouse buttons and all. I leave mk3, go back to mala, then enter metal slug, and all the controls are totally whacked out again! I am going insane :timebomb:
