| How many player buttons (six or eight)? |

Hi all, after a long time away from the hobby (just under ten years) I'm looking to build a new cabinet, this time round a 2 player side by side cocktail table. Already seen so much has changed and after ordering a load of new parts its a lot easier to put it all together. I have the software side of things 90% there (Hyperspin, emulators and all associated media setup) but wondering if to go for six buttons per player or eight. Cabinet will be playing a mix of systems including MAME, older consoles like SNES/Genesis, and not so old platforms such as Gamecube and Dreamcast. So any recommendations/advice? Many thanks, Andy. |

For console support, go for 8 buttons. |

I run mame, emulated consoles and real consoles in my cab. So I went with 8. |

Thanks guys, eight it is then. |

For dreamcast, there is 2 pull triggers, 4 buttons, start, a joystick, and a 4-way d-pad. If you were to translate that to arcade buttons, thats a lot of buttons (11 + joystick). |
