| How many 2p games utilize 7 buttons? |

I'm trying to do the layout on my control panel and I forgot about the extra button (7th button) that some 2p games use. Its a tight fit right now on my CP for the 4 players and I was just wondering if its worth that extra button. Thanks! Also as of right now I have 6 buttons for all 4 players. Are there any games out there that use all 6 buttons for 4 player games or do I only need 4? |

if im not mistaken, 4 is all you need for P3 and P4 could be wrong.. |

Only if you're playing NeoGeo games. |

In MAME there are no games that require 7 buttons. The 7 button layout is so that you can play 6 button fighters or 4 button Neo-Geo games comfortably as they were on the original cabs. There are absolutely NO 4-player games in MAME that use more than 4 buttons (I think it's actually 3). The only reason to use more than 4 buttons on players 3 & 4 is if you are using consoles in which case you may need as many as 8 buttons per player. |

So if am thinking of emulating is it even worth putting 6 on since I'd probably need 8 anyways? Thanks for the input guys :) |
