Buttons??? help for a newbie
« on: May 28, 2004, 03:10:40 pm »
Help!!  I am building a cocktail cabinet with an extra side CP for horizontal games.  I will be playing old school games from the 80's and early 90's only.  How many buttons do your guys recommend per player.  I see lots of CP's with 7 buttons per joystick, but is that overkill if I am not playing fighter style games?  Thanks.

The first cocktail I built (next one will too) had 6 buttons per player just in case anyone wanted to play a fighter game.
Use this link to see which games require a certain number (or greater) of buttons:
