The conclusion I eventually came to was that it was better to use an encoder to control everything. I did eventually get the thing working, but if more than a couple buttons were pressed simultaneously, some presses were omitted. In this post I go over my mechanical design for the cabinet as well as the electrical process of going from keyboard to MAME controller. As far as I know there are no wireless encoders available for this purpose, so that was part of the motivation for trying this. For those not familiar with it, MAME stands for “Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator” and is generally used to run older arcade games on a computer.Įncoders are available for this purpose, however, intending to save some money, and having an unused wireless keyboard, I decided to try to make one myself. For those of you that have a wireless keyboard laying around, you might be tempted to turn it into something else, like a wireless MAME controller.
