Should I put a pause button on my CP?
Sasquatch!:
I have one, and I think it's a good idea.

A pause button sould be easily accessed and there's no better place than on the CP.

For home use this is a good idea. In the arcade the shop owner wouldn't want you to pause even if it was available, it wouldn't make as much money then.
Lilwolf:
Dedicated pause is a GOOD thing!
also
Dedicated F10 (and change mame to have showfps to F10 also) for a quick speedup is also GREAT! I do want to hack mame to change to frameskip 12 when I press it and back to frameskip 0 the next time.
Probably 2 of my favorite buttons... Behind... coin player 1, start player 1, heck joystick player 1 and a few player 1 buttons.

Most definitely. I stuck a couple pause buttons on my 2 player CP and they've proved extremely useful.
SirPoonga:
The only two dedicated buttons I have are pause and exit. And my pause button is my shift button too.
