What are the popular mame games that use seven buttons? Trying to figure out if it is worth the space of adding seven or six buttons on my control panel. Later Glenn |

The 7-button layout is used to allow both Capcom (6-button) and Neo-Geo (4-button) games to be played properly with one bank of buttons. The Capcom games use this layout O O O O O O X The Neo-Geo ones use this one. X X X O O O O |

Seven buttons also comes in handy if you're going to run a SNES emulator on your cab (assuming you have a Start button - and if you don't then that pretty much kills any chance of starting a game - and the seventh button has a unique mapping). |

not to confuse the noob, but i prefer the 4 buttons to be accross the top, but everyone else is right that it's not so much seven button games, but the comfort and convenience of having the appropriate buttons in the appropriate spot. |

I don't like having to reach over buttons to use other buttons. It just feels funny to me. I tend to rest my hands on the machine heavily when playing (to the point of actually leaning on the machine), so I like to have a solid surface there. |
