Thanks for all the advice. 4 player is definetly required. I have two kids and my nieces and nephews come over all the time and games like X-Men, TMNT, Simpsons, etc... will be a big hit (plus those are my favorites from my younger years :applaud:) I have seen control panels with a 7th button for each player and always wondered what they were for. I guess I know. In any case my control panel is the last thing I'm doing and ordering 4 more buttons from Happ is no issue (my other stuff just arrived today). As I play with MAME on my PC I'm sure it will give me more insight into my exact requirements. Thanks again! |

I actually build a 4 player one just for kids, so this might help. Note, it's a repeat of some of the stuff above. 1st and 2nd player 6 button (so adult can play fighter games when kids not around) 3rd and 4th player 4 button Start and credit for all 4 players - lots of multiplayer games require seperate credit button. Escape (quit) button behind the cp - tried putting it on the cp and it just gets hit way too many times. Power button - top of cab - adult has to turn it on for them No admin or mouse button - keyboard and mouse inside cp so just lift up cp if any config is needed. Pause button behind the cp - again don't put it on the cp. One other button - Game List button (list wrap) ----- The other option I have done is have only 1 list (Favorite list) - used when we have tons of kids around. What I have learn is that the least u give them, the better. BTW, my panel is only 40in wide (note...remember.. build for kids in mind) |

Kids love pinball as well .... are you planning on putting a couple more buttons on the side of the control panel to play Visual Pinball .... they have tons of pinball tables available. |

I have two 4-player cabinets, I installed the "credit" buttons for each player on the undrside of the panel. That way they are invisible but real easy to add credits when needed. Some games require the individual credits for each player. This was an easy way to do it without adding extra buttons to the top of the control panel. |

I have a 4 player cab as well, and I'm breaking all kinds of new ground (3 trackballs) so I figured I'd stay with start and credit for all 4 players. |
