Admin Buttons for CP

(1/8) > >>

jholman76:
Just a generic question about the Administrative buttons everyone is using on MAME CP's/Cabinets.

What admin keys do you normally include? I am building a couple desktop CP's. they will be Gamepad hacks and I have a couple keyboard hacks that I already have done so that will be easiest for the admin buttons.

Below are the keys I have with the keyboard hack: (i think this is all of them)

1
5
ESC
HOME
P
ENTER
TAB

Anything anyone would add to this list?

I have hacked a few dell USB keyboards with this setup, so if anyone is interested, its quite easy and only requires 9 or 10 wires.

I have pictures of where to solder and what each one does. I'll post it later this week including what model encoder it is, etc. This model of keyboard is coming to end of life at work so I am getting more of them to play with.

I just used 3 keys for my admin buttons...

P (Pause)
F2 (Service button)
Tab (Mame Options)

I am in the process of placing a lock on my keyboard tray (keeps kids out)
I hacked a dell keyboard, and i do agree, it is easy to hack....

jholman76:
Not sure if I've ever used the F2 key in all of my MAMEing....

I'll have to find out tonight if I need it.

severdhed:
pause and exit are the only two admin buttons i have on my panel.  everything else is a shifted function

leapinlew:
No admin buttons. All shifted functions.
