Its all personal preference. I personally don't want to use the keyboard at all, nor do I want these extra buttons. My machine uses quarters for credits, and ArcadeOS does the rest for the extra buttons. However, once I've setup all they keys, volume, etc... I don't have a need for any extra buttons.
: hi guys,
: using the visio stencils to lay out yet another new CP diagram for myself (this time for my horizontal double dragon cab, i decided it's better to mame than to just have 8 games with a multijamma) I noticed the 8-button cluster seems to be for mame-specific buttons:
: 1p (1)
: 2p (2)
: coin (5)
: exit (esc)
: enter
: config menu (tab)
: screen menu (~)
: pause (p)
: but I don't know if that's all that mame needs... what about the OK and occasional F2 you have to hit? would it be seldom enough that i could go ahead and do that from the keyboard?
: thanks much
