With a 6 button layout, you would start at the top left so your buttons would be 123 456 With 8 buttons, you can go a couple of different ways. I would highly advise you to figure out if you really want the 8 buttons or not I would be careful of doing it because others have it --- End quote --- I see, but would it be so bad to have four buttons or would I have no need for the two extras? Could I use this layout for example? 1 2 3 7 4 5 6 8 That way the buttons could be used, but only if the game / emulator needs them. Am I wrong? :) |

And you can use button 7 for neo geo so that the 4 buttons will be inline but you will need to remap all neo geo games for this button to function as the 4th button. |

But would you recommend this layout? Since this is my first build I'm not completely sure which layout is the best, and I highly appreciate any advice that you could give me. |

It's a good way to have your neo geo buttons all in a row and with the 8 buttons, it'll be more even looking than a row of 4 and a row of 3. I may be wrong but I think the whole 8 button layout really has come about from the fighter sticks that guys use on ps2s, 3s and xboxes. For me personally, I like the 6 button layout and I like it staggered to have a neo geo layout |

Thanks for the advice, do you have this kind of layout? 1 2 3 4 5 6 So you play Neo-Geo games like this? 1 2 3 4 Also, another question. The iPac VE controller has inputs for A and B-buttons for each player. Are these used by any emulator, and should I include them? If so, I've included an image showing a possible position. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance! |
