Hyperspin admin buttons for control cabinet
brad808:
Just player one start and escape for me. Everything else is accessed by shifted keys, things like exit hyperspin, genre, favorites. The reason I did that is because of the numerous times I would go into my basement when I had people over and see my machine sitting on the windows desktop or people in menus they couldnt find their way out of. Since I've removed all "unnecessary" buttons I'm yet to have that happen.
Like I said I still have functions available but only through my Ipac's shifted keys (I have to hold down player one start and then use another button). I would suggest something similar if you plan to have a lot of button happy people over because trust me if they can see it or find it they will push it regardless of what it says.

Building my first cabinet (bartop) and settled on Paradise Arcades Lono2. The lil guy works ok so far but it is recognized as a joypad controller rather than keyboard commands like an ipac would. Worst case, I could look into Xpadder if I needed a keyboard input.
I have just one dedicated admin button, along with P1 & P2 start+coin.
Anyone think I'll run into problems down the road? I was on the fence on buying an ipac over the lono2.

I use the Lono2 in the Two-Headed Beast. You shouldn't need Xpadder at all. Set up your joystick inputs for Hyperspin's commands and map your MAME (and other emulator) inputs accordingly. The Lono2 also supports a shift function which eliminates the need for dedicated admin buttons.

good to know, I'll check that out as I finish setting it up
