Digital Systems Design - usb encoder

[outrunner]

Hi, I collected this candy cab yesterday, it was local to me and only £68 ebay so I'm pretty pleased with it.

Anyone know anything about the USB encoder that's in it? It's branded as DigitalSystemsDesign.co.uk, but when you look up the website doesn't seem to exist anymore. I'm just after some driver/software for it. Self installs in Windows 7 but doesn't respond to any of the inputs.

Cheers.

Wow definitely an old one. I would have thought if drivers are still floating about they will be non-modern OS stuff, ie win vista / xp that kinda thing.

Googling digitalsystemdesign.co.uk, looks like he was a member on Jamma+, or possibly still is.

Anyone know him? Says designed by Barry Jones on the board.

There's also an ebay seller going by the same name. Worst case I'll order a new one, but was hoping I could use what's already in it to save re wiring.

It's a guy called Jeff I think, had a stink load of cabs when I visited him, I think there was some trouble with him and one of the arcade venues over cabs and cash, and he went underground.

Okay thanks, sounds unlikely It's supported anymore then. Will just order a new.

its just a hud keyboard.no drivers needed but windows own.

have the two caps next to the crystal got holes in?

Like I say I plugged it into a Windows 7 machine and it did the plug and play thing, showed as a device, but when I went to configure mame controls it didn't seem to respond. Will give it another go tonight.

Think that's just black marker on the caps but can see what you're thinking, will double check when I get home.

Resolved, was just a matter of enabling multi keyboard support in the mame.ini file
