hi, im in the planning/construction phase of my cab but i've kinda hit a brick wall. My problem is that im not sure what buttons i will all need on my control pannel. I searched around but really couldnt find a good post for it. Im going to use the I-pac 2 if that helps. If anyone has any links or info that would be great. |

Use the standard pushbuttons offered through the dealers/vendors on the board or through Happs. The size of the hole will be 1-1/8". |

I have my gameplay buttons on the control panel and the menu buttons on an administration panel. How many you should include will depend on how much room you have on your panel. On my menu panel I have the 1p and 2p buttons and the coin buttons for each, as well as buttons for shift, escape, and a couple buttons I have yet to assign. |

I'd recommend at least having player 1 & 2 coin-up and start buttons, a pause button, and an exit game button. Those are the buttons on my cab and I use all of them frequently. On the sides of my CP and semi hidden I also have a button to enter the mame config menu, an "enter" key button to be able to navigate the config menu, and the power button to the cabinet. I find those buttons are very useful, but are not necessary to have on the CP. If you have a keyboard tray then you wouldn't need any config buttons. |
