That makes sense. I do not know enough about the architecture of MESS to know how easy it would be to create a new input device for it, assuming it even knows about anything other than USB or PS/2 style devices.

What led you to choose that particular version of MESS? I see, on phones and such, they also use a common older version of MAME, so I assume there was something that happened in the next release that required more than what smaller/older devices could handle.

One great thing about being so out of the loop with CoCo news is when you step back in, there is so much new stuff to discover!
