Hi, I'm in the middle of a coffee table build (complete with motorised controls drawer)  ;D

Noob Question: I'll be mainly using it for the classics (space invaders etc)and snes games. How many buttons? I assume 4 buttons for the snes... is that enough for the rest? Or is it more for things like street fighter?

thanks

For fighters you'll need up to six. Depends how much you'll play them. Some people love them, personally I don't. If you want SNES support then I'd go with a Neo-Geo type layout of four buttons. Keep it simple and clean as possible. Cramming in buttons to support fighters is only worth it if you gonna play them.

You'll need more than 4 buttons for the SNES.
