Well yes I could have moved all the buttons over...but I didn't really want to, it would look odd IMO. Plus it would force the 2 player's controls closer to each other, which is an issue for me as my CP is only 60cm wide.
Granted this is pretty trivial anyway. The main reason I changed is probably because I realised I don't actually *like* the NeoGeo button layout!
Fuzz: I *think* the most buttons any MK game uses is 6, but some people like to use 2 of the buttons for the same thing, so they use 7 in total. I could be wrong on that tho...

Minwah, I'll forgive you if you're wrong, after all you've never charged me for using Mamewah - the greatest FE around!
I also have a 60cm CP on my cab so I know what you mean in regards to space.
I'm just ordering parts for my second cab now and I'll be sticking with the capcom 6 button layout. I don't like the idea of having to explain to all my guests that neo-geo games use the lower row of buttons...they don't need to be confused by things like that.

That's another good point. As I say I think only NeoGeo purists need the 7 button style.
BTW is that Belle & Sebastian in your avatar? I remember that...
brophog:
The only MK games using 7 buttons aren't supported by MAME.......and I'm not sure they even had arcade versions.
There are a couple of 7 button games that are, but I can't recall which ones at the moment. The number is very low though.

Yup, it's Belle & Sebastian, waiting patiently for someone to release it on dvd....
