This will lead to confusion though, for anyone who doesn't know how I've configured it. I find already that people don't know what button to use.

Just configure Pacman to use both joysticks.
RayB:
Another post-mortem note:
I should have included how to use my front-end in the design of the CP art. Simple "next" and "previous" arrows next to buttons A and B would have sufficed, as well as "Select" below my player 1 start button. (Otherwise nobody but me knows how to navigate the menu!)
RayB:
Found some decent weather stripping and added a strip under the control panel (where it rests on the glass).
Wired up the Exit and PAUSE buttons. I reprogrammed MAME so that Exit is no longer ESC. This means now that no one can exit the front end.
RayB:
Follow-up:
Regarding the FE navigation instructions, I'm going to print out and paste some new symbols. A couple arrows and the word "select". If it looks bad, I'll just peel em off.
Other issue I noticed when playing was difficulty in figuring out what controls to use. The FE is limited, but it shows screenshots. So what I figured I'd do is add graphics to EVERY SCREENSHOT that shows what controls to use! Check out my sample in this thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=48391.0
Frosty:
That CP has a great 80's feel to it: from the fonts to the lines, that's tough to capture. Nice work...
