Most intuitive 6-button layout

Pages: (1/8) > >>

MartyNg:

For a 6-button layout, what do you guys think is the most intuitive to use with MAME?

123
456

OR

125
346

Or something else?

I understand that I can switch the controls in MAME, but I'm hoping for the ability to play a lot of games without having funky button layouts, and without having to do a lot of work configuring.

Thanks!

Everyone loves to move the buttons around and then they eventually wonder why the standard 123/456 layout gets all of the use..........

shardian:

I suggest you leave the 123-456 setting in tact.
I'm not sure if you know, but you can reassign buttons on a game-by-game basis in mame.

monkeybomb:



I don't know any games that use 6 buttons besides fighters (I'm sure I'll get replies).  I know you don't want the strong punch on the bottom row under the jab.  That would also put the third button of any three button game in the wrong place.  That assumes the original is correct of course.  Go standard on this one and remap like shardian sain, when you need to.

MiKman:

Personally I setup my buttons like the following, because I play more 1-3 button games than I do fighters and I can re-map the buttons for those.  I wouldn't like to reach over a line of buttons to get at button 1,2 and 3.
