Re: Can we get iCade functionality in MAME please? :)

I did try it that way first, and it failed.

The problem is that when I press LEFT, the keypress isn't held and consistant. It's just a single keypress showing the start of LEFT until the counterpart single keypress showing that the LEFT switch is off.

If it was a consistant signal, then it would work fine.

As a test (and this is how I determined the grid of keystrokes in the first place), I used it with notepad to see what characters happened in different situations.

If they were "press and hold" like my normal QWERTY keyboard, notepad would have this on it:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

As I pressed and held the key. But instead, only a single keystroke happened.

Hope that helps clear things up.
