I got rid of all my MAME upright cabinets in favor of sitting my ass on the couch playing MAME on a RetroPie hooked up to my 4K TV. Can't afford to burn calories anymore standing to play video games.

Quoted from xsvtoys:Same here, but I am still working through the controller issue. How are you handling that?
I have found that some arcade games play pretty well with a wireless Xbox 360 controller. A few examples: Asteroids, Space Invaders, Galaga. However, others don't work well at all with it. A few examples, PacMan or anything similar, forget it - needs a real joystick, Centipede and others need a real trackball, and Breakout and others need a real spinner. There is no ready-made portable arcade control panel for connecting to TV/Couch setup that I know of, so I am trying to figure out how to make one.
Yeah I'm using an Xbox 360 controller as well. I have two different MAME emulators running...one is the MAME4ALL and I forget the name of the other one I only remember it was newer. Anyway, with MAME4ALL it allowed me to use the left thumb for Pac-Man which made a huge difference. For some reason I cannot use the thumb in the other emulator - it just won't register.
