| Admin Buttons? |

I dont want to veer off the original topic of this thread, so if this needs to be posted somewhere else, Id appreciate the pointing in the right direction. Ive seen the pause button mentioned several times in this thread. I thought about putting a pause button on my arcade, but after testing it on my desktop I noticed the screen saver never comes on when mame is paused. I was afraid someone would be playing the game, pause it and walk off and leave it like that, possibly burning the crt screen. How do you guys deal with this potential problem? |

You aren't going to burn your screen in a few hours, or even days. Maybe if you were building a machine dedicated to one game. Even then, I doubt it would be an issue. |
| DaOld Man:
Maybe so, but is there anyway to run a screen saver while in mame? I cant figure out how to do it. |

I know this is old but I'm looking at this right now. I'm thinking of just having a dedicated PAUSE button and then a Shift button to do Exit, Tab, etc. I will have Coin1, Start1, Coin2, Start2 but I don't consider those admin buttons. They are kid of necessary to do much of anything. |

I have kids playing on my cabinet who get frustrated when they mess up at the start of a game, so I added a "Reset" button as an admin button so they can easily restart the same game again without the need to exit then restart the game. Saves a step ..... and easy for the kids. Are you going to put pinball buttons on your control panel .... maybe a plunger button (or real plunger for that matter)...... just some ideas. |
