: Is there one central source for the number of buttons each game uses?

go to www.vaps.org
they have info on games like number of players, buttons per player, etc. and even images of the marquee and cabinet.
I think even www.mame.dk has some of this information.

: 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?

Simpsons RULE!
JAMMA games only allow up to 3 buttons per player (from the PC2JAMMA site). yeah, the neogeo has 4 buttons, but the 4th button is not used in many games (metal slug only uses 3). It's probably just the fighting games that use all 4.
