What the heck is the 7th button for on NEO-GEO games

O.K, maybe I don't remember right,
    but I don't recall any cab with seven buttons per player.
I remember an upright that had many games on it ( at a bollwing alley) that I played several times, But I believe it only had four per player.

The 7th button allows you to play Capcom with 6 buttons, or Neo-Geo with 4 buttons, using the same bank of buttons.

For Capcom, you use:

   O O O
   O O O
x

For Neo-Geo, you use:

   X X X
   O O O
O

It's not about a game with 7 buttons it's a layout thing. 

SF2          123
               456

Neo Geo       234
                 1

So they add the 7th button to get the neo geo feel.  So wher you play games it goes like this.

x = unused

SF2      123
           456
          X

Neo Geo      XXX
                  234
                1

It plays way better that way.  But you can certainly play the neo geo games like this if you want to.
