Admin Buttons

Pages: (1/4) > >>

I am looking for some advice on what buttons I might need for my cabinet. I am keeping the cp very simple. It will have:


* 2 joysticks and associated buttons
* p1 and p2 start
* pause game
* exit game
I am planning on putting a couple of buttons on top of the cabinet where people won't stumble onto them. Specifically 1 button to power off the whole cabinet (wired to my computer power switch and everything plugged in to a smart strip) and another button to enter the MAME configuration menu (tab).

Will this pretty much cover it all? What else should I be considering?

Please just do a search. This question has been asked and answered plenty of times. Almost word for word. Promise.

In the last couple of days we've had control panel tilt, why 7 buttons and now how many admin buttons threads. If we get an 'is this pc good enough' thread we'll have the set. 

There is also an FAQ forum..

Ur setup is among the most common, followed by none with shifted keys and some who add volume controls or tab for setup.

I'd leave it at pause and exit, then people can't mess it up. Having a keyboard in the coin door is the way to go.

Hmmm.. I didn't think about a keyboard in the coin door. I thought about having one but I didn't know where I would put it that wouldn't require me to build some kind of tray and wouldn't be way inconvenient. I also have VNC access into the computer. I'll have to ponder on that.
