Re: Sending Keys to MAME

Digging up an old thread here but I thought I'd post what I've done in the past.

- The simplest way to inject keys into MAME is to compile a custom version with the following #define set to 1. The file is src\osd\windows\input.c


Code:

#define FORCE_DIRECTINPUT	1



SendInput() works with DirectInput

- You can inject keys into MAME by attaching a dll to the MAME process and API hook the RawInput calls.
- You can use a key to joystick app such as PPJoy or VJoy
