[QUOTE="Keflon, post: 18153, member: 10295"] Hi Daniel, thanks for the response. For input I'm using a J-PAC. It connects to the JAMMA connector in my cabinet and translates joystick actions to keypresses, so it's a keyboard simulator as you suggested. See [url]http://www.ultimarc.com/jpac.html[/url] if you're interested and unfamiliar with the device as it also has some useful VGA functionality. I can reprogram the keymap on the device to suit MediaPortal and likewise modify the Mame keymap, but before I do can you tell me if there's any reason why this functionality cannot be integrated into MP? If it is practical then I might take a look at the code myself and implement this as long as it won't adversely affect current or future plans for MP keyboard operation. Mame support 'out of the box' would be a good goal. Time permitting of course; as a programmer I don't have much spare time which is another reason I have great respect for you guys. :-) K. [/QUOTE]
