Buttons colors?

[Yvan256]

We have a lot of resources for games, such as ROMs, marquees, artwork, control panel overlays, etc.

However, I'm not sure if such a list exists, but I'm looking for a place where games are listed, along with the colors of buttons used by the games. Control panel photos or drawings would also help. I'm a bit puzzled as to why the CPO graphics and CPO vendors don't list the buttons colors. It could be printed in the area for the button hole itself (hint).

Ex: Samurai Shodown = Red, Yellow, Green, Blue. Pulstar = Red, Yellow. Black Tiger = Red, Blue. Rygar = Red/Blue*.

* or was it Red/Yellow? I can't seem to find an official control panel, too many photos of what seems to be Rygar cabinet conversions.

Something like this would definitely make my life easier on the Two-Headed Beast. But I'm pretty sure I'll be tracking down individual photos of dedicated cabs.

While we're at it, might as well add "joystick color" and well as "joystick type", i.e. ball top vs bat top.

ex: Pac-Man = red, ball top.

Keep in mind Japanese verisions had differences compared to American versions. Galaxian comes to mind.

It seems that even the marquee and the CPO aren't the same. I guess we could just go with the American/European versions of things since I've rarely seen Japanese marquees/etc. Or we could add another field into the XML (it can probably be limited to three values: Japan, USA, Europe).

Turns out there is such a list, colors.ini. Headkaze made it. I just found this out today after downloadling LEDBlinky and reading through its manual. It's included with the LEDBlinky download, and you should also be able to find an updated copy somewhere here on the forums.
