Which button(s) do you guys use for MAME admin?
crapjoint:
Just wondering how you guys set up admin buttons in mame, like start, pause, etc? Thanks
Pete Harcoff:
I've got three admin buttons in the center of my CP for Escape, Tab and Enter. I also have two pause buttons located above the player 1 and player 2 controls.
I'm thinking about possibly adding another admin button for Reset (F3).

I prefer to just keep my keyboard handy for that stuff. I hate a cluttered control panel. Also, have you guys thought about using SHIFT keys, if your using the ipac or SHAZAM function of the KEYWIZ if you have one of those? By using those functions you avoid the need to have a ton of extra buttons on your panel and still allow access to other mame features such as the reset, tab,etc.

I have 4 buttons on the side... 2 on each side... that double for pinball buttons for vpinball/vpinmame.
Works pretty well... but my daughter is known to hit escape while watching me play... that sucks.
PacManess:
What is this "Shift" function you speak of? I have an I-Pac 4 which I purchased off of EBay. So, I don't have "official" documentation for it. I'm sort of curious how I can maybe get by with just having 1 "admin" button on my CP.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
