I would like to add more buttons because the six it comes with are very few.

There are 10 buttons, 🅐🅑🅧🅨 L1,L2,L3,R1,R2,R3 (Touch screen is missing L3,R3 so only 8) Isn't that plenty??

Hi, I want to play Majhong games, but they basicly needs about 30+ buttons for playing, so how can fix this problem?

Mahjong in MAME is meant to be played with a keyboard. Joystick usage is done through popup menus:

You could conceivably build your own controller tapping into the keyboard mapping and using a USB keyboard board, or just use a keyboard.

You could also buy a USB keyboard built for mahjong: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/R-STYLE-Controller-Mahjong-Emulators-Hyperspin/dp/B07MXMJSPN

But in general yes, you're asking about keyboard supports, not controller and buttons.

If your keyboard can swap keycaps you can also buy the majjong keycaps for it, which may be cheaper or easier. I'd go with the USB route, as it is probably already properly mapped.

Also in the next release MAME4iOS will have a on-screen keyboard, that should give you all the keys you want...

Okay, thank you very much! New version is playing now, perfect!
