4 player CP
Tahnok:
Hey, wait a minute, why would you need the SNES buttons for players 3 and 4? Seriously, how many SNES games used 4 players? I'm not even sure if they sold a 4-player splitter for the SNES (it seems like they did, although I could be mistaken). If you had a 6-button fighter setup for players 1 and 2, then you would only need 3 or 4 buttons for players 3 and 4.

I like playing 4 player games of SNES Super Bomberman 1 + 2 on my cab. It uses just a few buttons so you are right that you probably only need 4 buttons for p3 + p4 even for SNES. Almost all of the other 4 player SNES games are sports games. In fact, sports games, like EA's Madden, are about the only 4 player games that I can think of where 6 buttons may be needed.

The absolute only reason why I am putting 6 buttons on my p 3 & 4 is for the future... I'm hoping the dreamcast emulator will work good anough for its 4 player games.

What 4 player dc games use 6 buttons? I can't think of any offhand (except probably football, basketball ect... but I don't play those games).
Yeah...I know I have 6 buttons for my p3 + p4, but I have never the 2 extra buttons. They don't really bother me though.

Don't the Capcom titles use 6 buttons on DC?
