6 buttons REALLY necessary ???
Smittydc:
If you want a large board and play fighter games, go with 6-7. If you play the "classics", I have yet to find many games that need more than 3.
If it's an option, leave out a few buttons and add a spinner or trackball instead.
Thenasty:
4 Buttons - Vanguard, Defender, NEOGEO GAMES
5 Buttons - MK, Stargate
6 Buttons - tons of Street Fighters
7 Buttons- ??? Maybe Card Games.
More buttons up to 20 - MAJONG

Damn, nearly forgot Vanguard! But Vanguard would need Diamondshape, NeoGeo all in a row...
By the way, as far as I know only NeoGeo-fighters need all 4 buttons.
Lilwolf:
Vanguard would also work well with two joysticks... I have to try it.... It would need an autofire hack to work...
but as cheap as buttons are... why not use them? It would be a shame if you built a cab and spent hundreds or thousands... then found a friend whos favorite game cant be played (or you get a new favorite) because of a 2buck button.

Japanese cabinets generally come with this layout. Sega games in bold, SNK games along the top and the usual six for Capcom.
