--- Quote from: JAZ on June 08, 2004, 01:50:17 am ---Why have a seventh button? --- End quote --- I think it's because NeoGeo games use a layout with the four buttons pretty much side by side like this: http://images.webmagic.com/klov.com/images/N/nNeo_Geo_MVS.jpg To keep that layout, but add enough buttons to play StreetFighter you'd add 3 more buttons under or above buttons 2, 3 and 4. That way you'd have your buttons in the same configuration as both NeoGeo and 6 button fighters. I think. ? |

NOTE: This is all personal preference and comes down to what feels right for YOU. The best advice is probably what Apollo said about testing til you get the right feel. --- Quote from: Ed ONeill on June 07, 2004, 09:44:27 pm ---Also is it better to curve/fan the buttons or keep them in a straight row 3 on top 4 on botton or vice versa. --- End quote --- Option A: x x x x x x x I have also seen: x x x x x x x Whether to curve/fan the buttons or not probably depends on how die-hard of a SF fan you are. I never got into it a lot, and prefer the curved button layout. Also whether the top or bottom row is button 1 (for most games) depends on preference as well. |

So here's a silly question... I went ahead and did the 7-button setup as described (but curved), ie X X X X X X X ...and then ran into a problem. I don't know how to wire that thumb button. With neo-geo games that would be what, button #4? 1 2 3 4 5 6 4 ...but that of course duplicates buttons. Or would it really be button 7? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ...but then the mapping would be off for any games that used it... Basically, I'm just confused about the use of that button. How do most people have it wired? -->VPutz |

Either way, you will need to customize your inputs (ctrl.ini files) for the Neo-Geo games. |

Ok so I know neo geo is : 2 3 4 1 but when using SF it is : 1 2 3 4 5 6 Could I do this 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 That way Sf fans wouldn't have a problem and neo geo fans would have to suffer a little with having th 4 buttons in a staight row Personally I play mostly classics but when friends/family comeover that might be a diffrent story. Thanks in advance ED |
