Wiring I-pac VE question about 7th button
« on: July 22, 2004, 10:28:24 am »
Hi all

I am wiring up all the controls to my Ipac VE.  I am just wondering what terminal on the board does the seventh button go to.

Thanks in advance.

It's my understanding that most people wire the seventh button to an already existing button: ie like button 4:


       4     5     6
4     1     2     3

or something similar

MrBond, Question:  what is the point of having a seventh button if it does the same thing as one of the other six?  Am I missing something here?

4 buttons on the bottom row correspond to the neogeo layout, while the bank of 6 correspond to capcom fighters and the like..
