how many admin buttons
pinballwizard79:
None +1
JustMichael:
I have just 3. I have a "enter/exit" (enters Mame from frontend and exits back to frontend from Mame), Pause, Reset (reset Mame). I think most "admin" buttons are useless. Why? Aren't you supposed to be playing and not administrating the cabinet? If you need to admin stuff, use a keyboard and mouse! Set up your cab before guests arrive.
leapinlew:
None.
If kids come over to play, you'll wish you had none.
wweumina:
I agree with none.
I started with 2 (pause and exit). I've since re-done the panel and removed them.
Alternatively, if you are determined, consider putting them in the pinball flipper position. It keeps the panel itself clean.
Pingaloka:
Yep, that's how I have them. In the pinball possition I have pause on the left and and enter on the right.
On the panel itself I have volume up volume down and a button for credits.
Inside the Coin door I have tab and reset, so no one messes with that around.
Reset I don't think is so important, as once each game is configured no reset is needed.
