JVSPAC & keyboard/mouse > console converters?

Post by cools »

Has anyone tried a JVSPAC 1 (MAME firmware) or 2 with one of those converters that lets you use a keyboard & mouse on a console?

I'm pretty sure a 1 won't work at all (because it operates as 3 keyboards), but a 2 - maybe that would @invzim ?

Although I can't see any of them working as a keyboard > 2 player controller adapter. Hmm.

It would allow a JVSPAC to be connected to an Xbox, PlayStation, Switch etc without needing to code a specific USB stack for each.

Like one of these. Using a JVSPAC 2 I could set up a perfect keyboard mapping to just work natively http://www.reasnow.com/

Advantage of the JVSPAC is 2 player support on the one cable, which I don't think any of the adapters support.
