How to Configure a Logitech USB Controller for a MAME Emulator

MAME, or Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, is one of the most popular free gaming applications available for the PC. Using MAME, you can replay hundreds of games from the golden age of arcade gaming. One way to enhance the MAME experience is by playing with a controller such as those manufactured by Logitech. This removes the need to input keyboard commands and makes MAME gameplay more closely resemble console-style videogaming.
