8 for Mario 64 support.  But the N64 controller has 9 buttons so I figure why not.  I just can't do games that need the d-pad.  It's a simple 2 player cab that I'll be doing so I had the real estate available on the control panel.  Also, I think that I will review the N64 games that I want to have available and make further decsions based upon that.  Tonight I am integrating N64 into Mala so I can see how that works out.

As for the numpad comment, I did some thinking.  Abobut 5 minutes worth.  I am not going to do a numpad.  That is just stupid.  If I ever do a second cabinet though I might think about doing it as a dedicated Atari cab.  I have to review the games though.  Off the top of my head, the 5200 had 3 games that I would like to have that need the numpad.

Why not just integrate some N64 ports underneath your CP so you can plug in an actual controller in the event you want to play one of those games?  I love Mario 64 but I don't think I could play it on an arcade cab with the camera buttons and everything and standing up and coordinating the butt-stomp.  Doesn't sound like fun.  The N64 controllers are great for the games designed to run on the N64.

Blasted logic .....  :o

Ya, I've thought about that.  I just prefer to try and get the control panel doing it.  If it doesn't work out as I had hoped, I spent an extra $10 on buttons and I can always add such ports later.  What I need to do is take a look at the manuals to these games.  I really am itching for WaveRace and I think that was not a complicated game button wise.  I am somewhat worried about Mario 64 though.
