So, I gather not many people know about this after all, and it is not surprise considering some moron have thrown out that functionality starting from MAME 0.104u3.

- 0.104u3: Luigi30 removed P1/2 Button 3 based on the operators manual.
It is amazing how baby programmers have ruined MAME, and what is worse this particular change is actually contrary to MAME already ridiculous "theoretical correctness", as opposed to "practical correctness", i.e. if the original PCB indeed have that functionality then MAME ought to emulate it in order to preserve it, and whether will the 3rd button be wired and actually used is up to cabinet builder, not stupid MAME developer and operators manual. Luigi, you moron!

I loved this game as a kid.
That list said that there is no time limit, but there is. That's how I beat half of the harder opponents, just got a few hits on them and jumped around for five minutes. The music picks up then the round times out, and you win.

To be fair ... I have yet to see a piece of actual documentation that mentions a 3rd button, including the actual manual.
I suggest that we let the MAMEDevs, even the baby ones, decide what is best for MAME, as opposed to opening discussion up to the the mob of whiny bitches who don't do their research and then complain about things that they get for free and play illegally.

Weather or not the button is mentioned in the documents does not matter. Mame Should document the hardware the same way it exists in reality.
If someone wants to virtually wire the other button in, as was originally deigned to do so... then so be it. Its not much different than the ability to use the Cheat engine... except that is actually MORE LEGIT than a cheat... as a cheat is a hack that wouldnt be as simple as two wires feeding onto the pcb.
Another example of this atrocity... was the decision to eliminate stereo sound from certain games just because the cabinets were released with mono speaker setups. The game itself outputs stereo, and the music was designed for stereo.. .and any Op could have easily rewired the cab in seconds to get that Stereo sound. (or put the PCB in a cab that had stereo speakers)
The choice to disallow it is pathetic, and has no good reasoning behind it.
CheffoJeffo:
I disagree, unless they removed the functionality of the buttons from within the code, which would be a total PITA.
So, unless I am wrong about the accuracy of the emulation (which I doubt), disconnecting the interface for a button for which there was no interface (check the pinouts), is, to my mind, EXACTLY how it exists in reality.
The childish whining about it elevates the whole thing a new level of dooshiness.
