Thanks, headsplice, I'm planning a pilgrimage to Best Buy to pick up the Rocky & Bullwinkle collection... I'll see what they have. I'm not sure about compatibility... the MAME docs suggest it shouldn't be a problem, but they also suggest that you can use the mouse as a controller, and mine (a plain-vanilla PS/2 one) doesn't work. So I'll probably pick out something simple and cheap and see how it works, and bring it back if not.
perth, I've seen those, and I'm not going to pick up one for that much money to put on my PC. However, I have thought hard about using them for when I fulfill my current hi-tech fantasy,
the construction of a table-model video game. But there are a lot of questions about monitors that I need to figure out before I could go ahead. On the other hand, if I'm going to spend $200 on the cabinet, another $200 on the controllers (one for each side), and a minimum of $300 for monitor and computer hardware (and that's assuming a lot of spare-parts cannibalization), why not
just buy one?
