thats not the way most people do it.
from what i understand it usually is:

 123
 456
1

Actualloy people do it differently.  Some do it like that.  It depends on if the button is on the top row or bottom row.  Many wire it like this:
  456
4123


Either way you do it it is easy to set mame up using the ctrlr files to have everything mapped the way you want.

i stand corrected..
i mainly wanted to emphasize the fact that most place the 7th button diagonally below the lower row.  i am planning on using a 6 button layout while still being able to enjoy neogeo games.  it looks good on paper so far, but i will have to play test it..

Mine:

1234
456

with a slight curve.

Here's how the hotrod joystick is laid out:

Scroll half-way down the page.

This is not exactly the standard mame layout, but I believe most mame versions support the hotrod.

This is basically the way I'm laying my panel out - but add button-tops for the 8-way joysticks, add a 4-way, a spinner, and a trackball, oh and I have an administrative "shift."

I guess I was attacked by the CP creep.

I always play:

jamma:
123

neo:
123 (4)

capcom/fighter:

123
456

Neo & fighter combo: BEST LAYOUT
123(4)
456

on a 6 button layout double the neo's 4'th button with the #6  button

123
456 <- (neo # 4)

As a frequent street fighter and Neo player... the 7 button layout witht the neo #4 on the top row is the only way to go. I can almost stand playing the traditional 6 button with the neo using the #6 button.

The 7 button with a slight curve is even better.

That all jamma though: Don't know how to set that that up in mame ?
