How many admin buttons should I use on my CP?
<< < (8/10) > >>
Zebidee:
Yes Tiger, I reckon you are right.  My posting finger was a little too twitchy.

autohotkey ... yes, a good solution especially for a mainly windows environment, and there are some other keytomouse apps around.  Mouse buttons wouldn't have to work in every emulator anyway, and the keys would still be keys and available as controls regardless. So it is possible to do without mouse buttons yet get the functions.  Worth investigating a solution to this if you have a gaming trackball in your CP, if only to save two "admin" buttons.

you dont want any admin buttons on top of your control
panel.

i use three microswitches under neath the control panel, so
they are hidden.
they are
pause, credit, and esc.

anything else is done via a wireless keyboard. (RF)

placing admin buttons like ESC invites guests to mess up
your game or worse mess up your configurations.

admin buttons are not found in real arcades, so why add them
to your cab?

Zebidee:
I agree completely.  I want my Games Cabinet to look like one.

Want to play "Spot the admin CP"?  My simplest:

Thurman:
The more buttons you add to your cp, the more confused your guest will be.  Luckily I figured this out on my "test build" cp.
MPTech:
Not exactly an Admin button, but another button, none-the-less.

Can I connect the PC Power button to a normal Arcade Button (microswitch) to boot the PC up? (I want to locate it on the back of the cab, but easy to locate and turn on).
I was told PC Power button is a momentary switch, is that the same thing as the common cab button?
