| Question regarding wiring order CP |
| (1/1) |
| Yourname942:
Is this how you would wire up a 2p CP (in a 4p ipac) start coin start coin 1234 1234 5678 5678 or is it better to do: 5678 1234 ? Is there a better way? Thanks. |

Personal preference on this one I am afraid. Are you going with 8 buttons for a particular reason? I saw this layout somewhere to support SF and Neogeo. (Although you have 8 buttons you have 2 button 4's) 1234 4567 And on Mine I wired up as 125 346 |

The first consideration is the configuration flexibility of your other emulators. MAME is very flexible, but some emulators have fixed function keys that you can't re-assign. That said, most people go with option 1, but some use option 2 for a no-config 4-button neo-geo layout on the row that's closer to them. The down-side to option 2 is that any 5-6 button fighting games will have to be remapped, but you'll already be doing for the lower row that since you have an 8-button layout instead of the usual 6. Another option is: 1237 4568 You'll still need to remap to get a 4-in-a row Neo Geo layout, but the rest of MAME will mostly fall into place. If you try one way and don't like it, you can easily change settings in MAME or re-program the IPac, assuming that doing so will not cause problems with your other emulators. Scott |
