...to use a combination of two keys for buttons like ESC; for example, player 3 and player 4 insert coin buttons when pushed at the same time.
Another idea would be to program a button so that it has a dual function. I made my player 1 button 'Enter' so that it can be used to start games AND be player 1 start while running the game. My player 1 joystick is mapped to the arrow keys so I can also use it to navigate MAME menus and highlight a game to select, etc..
: Im almost done with my cab, but still have a few questions. My control panel currently has:
: 1P: 1 Joystick, 6 buttons
: 2P: 1 Joystick, 6 buttons
: 3P: 1 Joystick, 3 Buttons
: 4P: 1 Joystick, 3 buttons
: 1-4Player start buttons
: 1-4Player (insert coin buttons)
: so my question is, should i add some buttons for ESC,
: and the other MAME keys? or do most of you just have a keyboard for that?
