Hi there....Ok guys Ive almost finnished building my first ever mame machine...Its looking goo....got an I-pac...its a 2 player machine...lowboy style I think you would call it...looks great...software all up and running....just going to order my joysticks and buttons this week....but not sure what to get...Im mostly into older games...and like the metal slug games...Im not going to be playing any fighting games at all...I was just going to go with 3 buttons for each player....should that be ok??Or do I need 4 buttons for some games??...just dont want to get stuck....thanks..paul

I would put 4 per player if you ABSOLUTELY are certain you won't be needing 6 for anything. Cost really isn't an issue when you're talking an additional two buttons...
rollerball:
Yeah ok 4 should be ok....anyone know how many games use 4 buttons though??I cant think of any........

I did make my own spinner with an optical mouse as well...here is the link....works great...http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=50654.0

I was just going to use 3 buttons and have them in a line....so would you do 4 buttons in a line or 2+2 setup

Not many.   This has been covered before and the only one I can remember is that cat and dog game... hmmm... seems I can't even remember the name of that one :)

EDIT:  Mousetrap :)
