Quake and Unreal games on your MAME cab? (controls)

You could make a rollout keyboard tray, and just use that.

Thas is one of my options in mind, I do plan to add a rollout or a wireless keyboard to the cab, but I rather leave it only as an input device for the emualtors (options, configs, etc) and not for playing with it, that is why I am looking for suggestions on the CP layout, but thanks anyway!!!!

HeadRusch:
YES YOU CAN PLAY BOTH ON YOUR CABINET BUT REALISTICALLY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER A RF OR KEYBOARD (OR ONE OF THOSE MINI-KEYPADS THAT PLUGS INTO A USB HUB) AND A WIRELESS MOUSE OR TRACKBALL, FORGET GOING WITH THE JOYSTICK.  FOR CONSOLE EMULATORS I PREFER TO USE A JOYPAD, THE WAY NATURE INTENDED EM TO BE PLAYED..AND I LIKE DUCKIES...

tman2k:
You know, one good option for first person shooters may be to use one of those push-pull spinners from Oscar for aiming (left right up down), and a topfire joystick for moving around...or, instead of just a topfire joystick, you could always hack a flight joystick onto an 8-way base, and that would give you quite a few buttons you could map to other things...
Heck, now that I think about it, I may just do that myself...I think that would work out great!   :D

shmokes:
Mount one of these bad boys in your control panel and use it in conjunction with the trackball...

This thing, as strange as it looks, is pretty highly regarded by most people who have tried it.  It was also received well by most of the videogame press.
