Chris:
Oh, and you'll probably want to be able to exit....

How about:

KEY_4 = BTN_SHUTDOWN

This will exit with the right flipper button.  (KEY_Q might be a good alternative too.)

KentuckySinner:
Chris,

Thanks a ton for your help.  I made the changes to the controls.ini file and I'm getting a response.  The only problem that I had is that the following commands didn't change the pages.

KEY_C = BTN_PREVPAGE
KEY_5 = BTN_NEXTPAGE

Any ideas? 

KentuckySinner:
Nevermind.  I cross-referenced it was the default controls.ini...

KEY_C = BTN_PREVPAGE
KEY_5 = BTN_NEXTPAGE

just needed to be truncated to

KEY_C = BTN_PREVPG
KEY_5 = BTN_NEXTPG

I'm going to lose the flipper keys when the controls gets put into the cabinet, so Q worked.   

Thanks again!

Chris:
Sorry about the typo!  I should add BTN_PREVPAGE and BTN_NEXTPAGE as aliases so either way is recognized...

Just for fun, you may also want to try setting up Player 2's buttons as a six-key keypad (of course, you'll have to move the shutdown button, probably to KEY_SPACE, and change KEY_A to not select a song) so you can have direct access to songs rather than navigating with the joystick.  The best of both worlds, as it were....

To do this, try:

KEY_A = BTN_1
KEY_S = BTN_2
KEY_Q = BTN_3
KEY_W = BTN_4
KEY_E = BTN_5
KEY_OPENBRACE = BTN_6
KEY_SPACE = BTN_SHUTDOWN

And in the skin, set HighNumber to 6 and UseZero to False.  (Just edit the SKN file with a text editor to change the settings.)

The two buttons below those keys have a couple of good possibilities, either to jump to the first or last page, volume up/volume down, Popular/Pause, Pause/Skip Track, Previous Letter/Next Letter... lots of good pairs here.
