    I can confirm that that my joystick works all the buttons are mapped nicely, its a joy playing the old games 

    with a joystick and 8 buttons just like in the arcades, it even walks around with the stick. im using the 

    universal arcade stick f500 Elite fightstick if anyone is interested. well worth the money you dont need a fancy £300 one.

    cheers @johnparker007

    Hiya :)  

    There is a full overhaul of the controls/inputs systems, but this will likely not be for a 12-18 months. 

    I know that's not great!  But I am currently working on fruit machine emulation side of things for prob 3+ more months yet.  This will ultimately allow for more advanced fruit machine experience features such as:

    - instant startups on things like Scorpion 5 DES machines (which currently take like 90-180 seconds to start depending on how fast the PC is)
    - in/out money tracking via meters (if the user exits the machine while the meters are still counting up, the emulation will continue accelerated in background until the meters have stopped firing, so you can exit straight after all bank display is zero, without having to wait for meters)
    - more advanced approach to save states, which will be for driving multiplayer arcades
    - other stuff

    In the short term, I think yes, something like this (I haven't tried this but should hopefully work):

    https://joytokey.net/en/

    I think there's a free version, so you could give it a shot - and then you'd set up your USB fightstick so (I believe the keys are):

    Up -> Q
    Down -> A
    Left -> O
    Right -> P
    Fire1 -> Space
    Fire2 -> M
    Fire3 -> N
    Fire4 -> B
    1 Player Start -> 1
    Insert Coin -> 0 (zero)

    Hope that helps, and apologies in advance if this doesn't work!  But it kinda looks like it should - perhaps download it and just try setting up a single input like UP first, to see if it works, then if so, fill out all the other buttons - good luck :) 

    AH yes i mentioned joy2key as like yourself have used it before, il let you know if it works as im sure it will, thanks for listing the keys as it will save me some time. :)

    Hi John I got trapped in the area where Moon Patrol and Moon Cresta is located, this is not a bug I just could not drag myself away.

    If you added Ye Are Kung Fu that would be amazing.

    Also I have a tool called Arcade Manager its for another Arcade front end, it downloads all the splash screens, cab art, demo's etc for MAME roms, could be an convenient way of you to get the art etc for the cabinets if need be, I will leave a link. https://steamcommunity.com/app/465780/discussions/0/343786746006038700/

    PS If anyone wants to change the buttons if you press the left and right trigger on an xbox pad you can change they keys/buttons, i'm using a 8 button arcade stick, it is normally TAB on the keyboard but this was not working when I tried.

    hi eddwood, i was going to ask john as im left handed i struggle with the set keyboard controls ''qa/op'' i prefere zx(left/right) & left shift for (fire/jump) i know it might be set for a while ive read the whole 3 pages. pls help us lefties john :)

    this is amaising @johnparker007i knew something like this would be a next step, so im thinking its a bit like retroarcade neon but for fruit machine's, ive been doing another where you livestream to youtube and then your way fixes the instant ability play against someone virtually(as in retroarcade street fighter 2 turbo for instance ;) ) or watch your friend play the slots chat ect all live.
