Is there a better way to play Tempest on MAME?

I already have an 2600 driving controller to hack apart.

Where'd you get the driving controller? Maybe I am not searching correctly, but they seem hard to come by on eBay...

I got lucky at Goodwill a few months ago. I think it did cost me $5 plus tax though since that's they they labels all game controllers at my Goodwill computer store. I'll keep an eye out though if you want and that's an ok price to you.

So I have my extra Jag controller and the 2600 Driver controller is on its way in the mail . I am ready to hack together my Tempest controller. Has anyone done this before? I've found some handy instructions online, but it would be nice to hear from someone who has tried it previously...
