So if I don't plan on having fighting games, i'm ok with only 4 buttons per player?
: mostly for compatibility for modern 6 button fighters, however it also gives the advantage of being able to play a game that has say, 3 buttons all side by side, easier than having two buttons on top and one underneath. My cab actually has 7 buttons per player, but the 4th button on the top row is the same as the first button on the second, its mostly just for placement when playing neogeo titles.
