Most 4-player MAME control panels have the controls in this default player order -- 3 1 2 4The two most commonly used positions (Players 1 and 2) are on the center-left and center-right -- they have the best viewing angle and puts those players closest to the center of the screen.For some games like TMNT, the players appear on the screen in 1 2 3 4 order.For games like that, you can remap the buttons so the default Player 3 stick/buttons (far left on panel) control Player 1 (far left on screen), P1 stick/buttons control P2, and P2 stick/buttons control P3.A friend likes playing The Simpsons as Bart (default P3) so I remapped P3 controls to P1 stick/buttons and set Marge (default P1) controls to "none".
You've got the right idea.Wire and configure it so the default is 3 1 2 4.Remap the controls in 4 player games to 1 2 3 4.Yep that's exactly how I'm going to do it.

In the voice of Mario the other Italian hereee weee gooooA quick look at the TMNT coin-up screen before starting confirms the order to use so the screen matches the CPO.Leo (P1) Mikey (P2) Donnie (P3) Raph (P4)Scott
