Will I need more than 2 buttons for a vertical classic cocktail cabinet? If so, how many do I need?
SirPoonga:
I say stick with jamma standard, 2 player, 3 button.

If oyu want you can start going through that and see if there are 3 or more button games.  Otherwise if I remember when I get home where I can query tha tdatabase I can tell you if any games in controls.dat need more than 2 buttons that support cocktail.

FYI, asteroids needs a 2 way joystick and 3 button in mame.  So there's one game.  Cocktail support is being worked on for mame.

I have a vertical cocktail that I play mostly classics on.  I put three buttons but have never put a game on there that requires more than two.  Asteroids is horizontal, so if you're truly only playing vertical classics you will be happy with 2.
Thenasty:
There is Vanguard that needs 4 buttons and it supports cocktail mode.

Hmmm, interesting game, never played it.  I couldn't play it with buttons but since I have both an 8 way and a 4 way joystick I could use the 4 way for the buttons since they are directional firing anyway.  Have to check it out ;D
