Le Chuck:
This idea wouldn't work for builds with huge game lists but if you're doing a limited list, maybe 10 or so, I think it might be neat to see a bank of buttons that switch between the games.  Could be a good use of a keyboard hack if you don't have the extra inputs on an encoder. 

Maybe a nice metal plate with the name or easily identifiable icon engraved.  Maybe just a single row on the bezel at the base.  The 10th button (or whatever) could even go to a menu if you don't want to lock yourself into just those 9 (or whatever) specific games. 

Would be a great use for a long bank of those old radio buttons I like so much, the ones that when you press one the other one pops up. 

Might be a neat feature on a cocktail build, put one set of buttons on P1 side and a different set of games on P2 just to mix it up.  Thoughts?

You could probably do it with a KADE and AHK. Might look cool - reminds me of a 70s vintage-type game

I like it.  Mix your idea with a "Steampunky" design and you could have a cool build.  My kids only seem to like a few games anyway--plus whatever I'm currently playing.  10 buttons could work.

You could use one button like neo geo mvs. Press it to switch game. No need for millions of buttons.
