I drilled my P1 & P2 buttons to day on my 4 player cab. I need some feed back on where to place my start and coin buttons. The catch is I want them to double as Left and Right buttons for Sega Saturn and SNES Games. I used the Horis 36 templet from slag coin in a 6 button layout. I was thinking of making the first two columns in to three rows following the same curve. The coin/Left and start/Right buttons would be led lit, unlike the 6 other buttons. Is this a terrible idea? Does any on know If I can have a dedicated button as a shift key on an I-pac. I want to have one button that has no other use then to shift the p1 keys to admin keys. I feel like I am at the limit of buttons already. |

That's a tough one. I wouldn't want the start / coin buttons mount right with my main buttons, but if there are not close, they would be useless from a gameplay perspective. The admin button should be easy, as long as you have an unused input on your ipac, just have it mapped to a key that is not defined in mame. |

Here are some last minute sketch ups to clarify. There not 100% but it better conveys my ideas. The black dots are already cut out, the reds are different placements for coin/Left and start/Right. |

I don't like all in one solutions, if it wasn't for one Sega Saturn game, thats a must have, I would not be considering this option. I already have to many buttons, so cutting back where I can. |

how well does the saturn emulation work? he last time i tried it (a few years ago) it wasn't very good. Have you tried it to make sure it runs well before planning your control panel around it? |
