In Reply to: Any point in having playstation controls in my cab (read in)? posted by Agent Davis on January 24, 2002 at 10:34:21:

I think what I'm going to do is just wire up all the standard buttons and just not L2, R2, and Select. From my experience it seems that these buttons are used very little. Plus games that are "arcade-like" use less buttons and are therefore less likely to use these 3. If I find I need them I'll wire em up with quick disconnects so I can easily swap between using the four side buttons and the coin buttons.

I'm not going to play rpg's, racing, and other non-arcade games like MGS on my arcade cab. There is no point in this because frankly, the playstation controllers are awesome and work best for most games. Plus, I have a 27" Sony Wega in the next room that will also have a playstation hooked up to it.

Anyone see any problems with doing it this way?
