In Reply to: Cabinet Buttons (Why 6?) posted by JLR2000 on 30, 2001 at 10:09 PM:
: I'm starting to research for building my own MAME cabinet and I notice that most/all have 6 buttons with each joy. What keys do these 6 map to? Why is 6 the "magic" number? Any help is appreciated...
I do not have a problem with 6 buttons, or 5 for that matter, its that rotten 2 rows of 3 button layout I dont get. *** I dont play the fighting games but TOTALLY respect all those that do *** I would put my patriot layout up against the 2 x 3 layout anyday. *** If you cant play defender why have a Mame Cabinet *** OPINION ONLY, not based in fact or logic *** below is a link to IMHO the best button layout for a single control panel solution.
