Escape and Pause are handled through shifting, coins are inserted to register a credit and P1 & P2 Start are not admin buttons. Everything else shouldn't be accessible until a keyboard is attached and that's only during administration. People are button happy, will push everything they come across (accidentally or because they are children) and end up messing things up. ;) --- End quote --- This is true.. people tend to mash just about every button they see. I put all my 'admin' buttons on a toggle switch so I can disable if I need to. The toggle is hidden in the cp. |

On my panel to prevent accidental exiting, I wired up my two exit buttons in series. This way both have to be held down to send a signal to my computer. I spaced one on each side so on two player games when I am kicking my friends butts, they can't just hit the exit without me hitting it too. Its also easy to hit when you are playing by yourself. There are two pause buttons, but each has its own input as pausing doesn't really ruin a game. |

My exit button is ESC. This exits from the game. To exit glaunch and shutdown the computer, the shutdown button does that, but it only works from glaunch, so pressing it during game play does nothing. On my first machine, I used the same button to do both functions. Bad idea. People would hit the button twice when exiting the game, thus prematurely shutting down the machine |

reuse whats already there aqs much as possible... i only have 1 extra button set to escape. it both exits the games, and also goes 'back up'' in mala's tree menu. reused P1 Start to select in mala tree and to start games reused trackball to scroll list up/down (this rocks! throooww!) using my IPAC 2's built-in shift button for the rest... right now its set to p1 start but i wil probably set it on a pinball / side button using ahofle's awesome hotkey+spinner audio volume app... i hope this helps less is more! |
