Which button(s) do you guys use for MAME admin?
SpamMe:
I'm using dedicated buttons for pause and exit, and shif buttons for tab, some f keys, coin and some other stuff I can't actually remember :)
Chris:
I don't have an IPac (I'm using a KB hack), but I do use MAME's built-in shift functions.
I have 3 admin buttons on my panel: FUNCTION (shift), PAUSE and EXIT.

What happens if two of your guest players hit their start buttons at the same time? Does it exit the game, or am I not understanding how the shift option works?

It's actually pretty common when my son and I play side scrolling beat-em-ups like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Battletoads. I end up having to play on the 1P side all of the time so that I can regulate the "1 up / Shift key" smacking.
I am thinking about "hiding" the shift key button somewhere out of the way like the top of the cabinet and running it with tokens and a dedicated exit button. Jury is still out on this one, though.
