I'm not joking when I say this (surprise!):
Half the people on this board or more will hardly ever use most of the controls they put on their arcade cabinet. I think the sheer enjoyment of knowing that your panel can play ever freakin game possible on earth is part of what makes the people tick on this board. While pretty much nobody would include a control that they'd never use, one game using that particular setup of control is reason enough for most people on this board to include it. It's funny I know, but that's the God's honest truth. Trust me when I say that you'll enjoy admiring the creation that you have made just as much as actually playing the games. Its crazy I know. The limitations for most people are on money. If you can afford to put it on there, do it. I've never played Tron in my life but you better believe me that if I had the money and resources to build a control panel to replicate those particular controls, you bet your ass off that I would.
This is part of what makes this hobby so damn fun.
