Programming joy pad buttons

[hallamj]

Hello,

I am building a PC based Mame console which has no keyboard or mouse and is controlled by two eight direction - eight button joypads.

I would like to know how to program a button for "insert credit" and "one player" or "two players" (emulating keyboard number 5 for insert credit and 1 and 2 for one and two players). Also, it would be good if another button could be used to quit while in game.

Is there a method for doing this??

By the way, awesome front end. Keep up the good work

In MAME just hit TAB and sent the controls there.

If you are connecting the controls via an IPAC interface then you can also program the IPAC to mimic the 5 and 6 buttons for player 1 coin and player 2 coin.

Edit: apologies, I missed that you wrote joypad rather than joystick. No IPAC then.
