Pages: 1 JamesGaudet MAME Fan Reged: 08/22/12 Posts: 5 Send PM Looking for documentation - keyboard emulator #294210 - 08/22/12 02:15 AM Reply About two years ago I started building a mame cabinet. I got the cabinet, monitor, joystick, buttons, and a keyboard emulator. Then life got in the way and other projects came along. I have decided to finish the project only to realize I don't have the documentation for the emulator. It has 2 ps/2 keyboard ports on it and a bunch of cables coming off of it that go to buttons and the joystick. I don't remember where I got it from, or what it's called. If anyone can point me in the right direction to get back on track, that would be great.

There were a lot of keyboard encoders. Here's a page that lists almost every keyboard encoder sold in the last 10 years, so maybe you'll find it helpful. http://tigerheli.mameworld.info/encoder/index.htm GroovyMAME support forum on BYOAC JamesGaudet MAME Fan Reged: 08/22/12 Posts: 5 Send PM Re: Looking for documentation - keyboard emulator [Re: JamesGaudet] #294301 - 08/23/12 01:42 AM Attachment: DSC_2292.JPG 399 KB (0 downloads) Reply Here are some pictures of the device I'm talking about.

You rock. I though it was an old version of something but couldn't find anything about an old version on the website. I never even thought of checking the way back machine. Thanks again for all your work.
