Add one more button below those admin buttons and you can have the best of both worlds.   ;D

In my setup, I have the Asteroids layout doubled up as my admin buttons.  Depending on your front end choice, you can set it up to require having the exit button held down for :05 seconds in order to exit MAME games.  That way when you enter the asteroids game, you can press the exit button and it will function as a normal button.   :applaud:

I've included screencaps from my video below  (Youtube channel in my signature).

Do you have any issues with reaching over the trackball to play Asteroids?

Nope.  Even if you were to hit the trackball or the spinner, it will not affect game play for that game.  Either way, it makes a pretty cool looking admin layout, which is the main reason that I chose it.  I also have it doubled up on my joystick as well, for players that want to use that instead.

 Does it Look comfy?

 Just because you Can play it like that, does not mean it feels good to do so.   Its certainly not optimal for your back, to be leaning over a cp like that.

 Are they leafs?   No?   As it does not look like it.   What it appears to be, is a button arrangement that is somewhat in the shape of Asteroids.. (not as difficult, because they are closer together)   but do not have the main functionality that Leafs provide.

 The correct controls are what makes the difference..  Far more important than the discomfort of the reach...  and even supersedes the actual Placement and arrangement.

 I Highly suggest seeking out the real deal, and learning the "Float" technique.  Its money and effort that are well worth the investment.
