What "extra" buttons should I consider including on my 2 player CP?
Kremmit:
You might want pinball flipper buttons on the sides, and a pinball plunger button on the front.
Even if you use shifted inputs for most of the admin functions, I'd use a dedicated button for Pause- when you need it, you need it right now, with no messing around.

That is why I'm having two dedicated shift buttons (wired in parallel, so either will work) rather than using 1P as a shift button. It really seems like it would be too easy to accidentally hit 1P and something else at the same time, particularly with two players. Having two shift buttons on the sides of the panel box seems to be a good solution to me. I guess I could use them for pinball buttons too if I ever feel the need to.

Hey guys-
Question for you here- IF I DID want to wire some of these buttons separately- how do I do that w/ Ipac2? I already have holes drilled out for the extra buttons- but how do I wire them so IPac2 recognizes them correctly? I currently have 2 unwired spots open on the IPac- where would I wire other functions/buttons within the IPac?
Thanks

If you're a Stargate/Defender fanatic, you definitely want to be sure you have enough buttons to cover that too.....

Don't forget the "O" and the "K" for those annoying MAME messages. ;)
