You might want a Pause button somewhere - even if not on the CP.

What was your question??? - You could use any type of button - were you wanting opinions between standard arcade buttons and Volcano buttons or mini buttons, or lighted leaf switch buttons, or about colors, or labels, or all of the above???

Ohhh no!!! :P I've bought the buttons allready. There El Cheapo X-gaming Buttons, but that's ok for me.

Pause!! good Idea, i was forgetting that one!!

I'll remove the ON button, and replace it with a switch on the back and use it a pause button! :D.

thanx!! :D

What kind of encoder are you using?  Keyboard hack, IPac, KeyWiz?

I'm going for a Keyboard hack, but if it's too dificult, then i'll buy a keywhiz.

But right now i've gutted a compaq keyboard, it has an 18 x 6 matrix, based on a chicony chipset. I've mounted the connectors, so i need to scan the matrix now, been kinda lazy lately.

I've read a good keyboard hack method and I think i can get enough simultaneous inputs. If i can't then i'll try using an old 8 button genius (kye) gamepad I got, then I can use a MIX KeybHack and GamePad.

if everything else fails, then the keywhiz. ;)

I'm going this route because, I've had a car problem and spent ALL my budget on that (over 600 bucks) :(.. But that's life... :D.
