Most Arcade games use 3 or less buttons, NeoGeo games use 4. I don't know about DC games, but on PSX most games use around 4(X being the most important).

: Is there one central source for the number of buttons each game uses?
: I'm not interested in fighting games (I will probably hack a dreamcast
: controller to connect Soul Calibur to my cabinet) so I don't
: need the 6 buttons for Street Fighter. But what about other games? I will want to play games like the Simpsons or other multiplayer games.
: Can I get away with only 3 buttons per player? Do I need to go through each game one by one to figure this out?
: Any thoughts?
