I have a few questions that I was hoping someone knowledgeable could answer for me. I'm planning on building an arcade control unit to use with MAME 32 and I was curious of three things
1.) How many buttons are used maximum in each of the 4 modes of games on MAME. Namely, the maximum number of buttons used in a 1 player, 2 player, 3 player and 4 player game.
2.) What would you suggest I have in/on this arcade control panel? Including the number of buttons per joystick (I plan on making it a 4 player panel)
3.) What type of joystick and trackball should I have and from where?
I also have a question about the light gun games. What type of "light gun" can I use to play the shooting games on MAME? I saw two types on wicothesource.com, but I'm not sure if they will work with a PC based homemade arcade unit.
