I plan on just having an out of sight shift button. I'm concerned that the shift combinations may be inadvertandtly hit otherwise.

I'm planning on having 1 admin button... Pause. I know it's not exactly arcade-acurate, but I'm pretty sure it will come in handy. It will also be my shift button as I'm using a minipac. I will then be able to program the shifted functions to just about anything on the CP as it wouldn't make sense for anyone to be pushing pause and buttons/joysticks at the same time and accidentally doing something they didn't want to.

The default iPac shift key is player one start. You aren't likely to accidently combine that with any other keys.

Good idea. I've also got a pause button, but I hadn't thought of making it the shift key as well. I don't want to go with p1 start because it acts as taunt in the newer capcom fighting games, so it would be being pressed at the same time as other keys.

This is exactly what I am doing...at the moment I am using the pause key for coins tho, since I don't have my coin door hooked up.
Stingray: I hate to disagree but the very *first* time I used my cab for a 2 player game a couple of weeks ago (with the IPAC set to default), we quit Final Fight on level 5(!!) due to hitting P1 + P2 start. If that ever happens to you you will make sure it doesn't happen again!!
