Anyway, my project is "FINALLY" reaching it's completion and I have a question.
I have 6 buttons on my "utility" panel. So far, the functions I have defined to them are:
"5" - 1p coin
"ESC" - quit
"Enter" - select
"Tab" - MAME in-game menu
"P" - Pause
I'm trying to determine what the "most useful" 6th function is. Are there many games that would need the 2p coin button? I'm thinking some games like Gauntlet and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles used the "which coin slot you used" function to determine which stick you were going to play with so I considered using the "6" - 2p coin function as the 6th button since Gauntlet will be one of the main games I run.
My question is, is there a more immediate need for some other function (like F3 or something)?
Looking for input.
