Label one of them "Global Thermonuclear War" and then have it launch a batch file that prints "Initiating self-destruct sequence, launching missiles, this device will self destruct in 5 seconds, then plays the ending sequence from Missile Command and turns the cabinet off.

I'm adding this button to my cabinet asap!

I have 3 admin buttons on the shorty cabinet for simple use by 4-7 year olds. "Load" "Pause" "Escape" This allows just about anyone to load and unload a game without direction. I would add "Tab" to the fourth one, but not label it.

I wanna know how he did that.  I have a second control panel that I put 50 buttons on (all alphabet and then the numbers 0-9 and shift, fKeys and ESC) so I could easily just button-type out whatever I needed.

Really works nice if you ever need to SMS someone from your MAME cab, too.

You're starting to make my head hurt

These are great suggestions..yea I am using the IPAC 4 and already have the coin/start buttons in there (so these are in addition to those.)  I am thinking an Enter, Escape, Tab, and a "Global Nuclear War" button!  ;D.  Thanks for all the great replies!
