5 through 8 for coins unless you plan on using a coin door.
I had thought of something similar in terms of having a "fixed" area and a swappable panel. How are you planning to do this? The reason I thought about it is that I like racing games and would like to a swappable steering wheel/shifter.. I've seen several ways of making interchangable panels and was wondering what direction you're going.
: My cab is using a split removable-panel design. That is, the top 4-5" or so of the panel will be permanently mounted, with the remainder being removable and interchangeable. The plan is to put non game-specific controls in the fixed portion. I'm trying to come up with a list of controls I need. What I have so far:
: Player Start 1-4 (keyboard 1, 2, 3, 4)
: Pause (keyboard P)
: Menu (keyboard `)
: Config (keyboard Tab)
: Back/Quit (keyboard Esc)
: Select (keyboard Enter)
: Reset (keyboard F3)
: Any others that would be useful that I'm missing?
