That's how I do it.  Zero admin buttons, everything's shifted.  Though if and when I redo the panel, I may add a dedicated EXIT. 

TAB is useful for quick control setups without whipping out the keyboard, but make it some undocumented button combo (shift) only you know of.

How many times did you get to pause the game in the arcade..

I'm for authenticity in a lot of ways. . .  but I think I would draw the line at giving up my pause button.

The idea of using a shift button for pause is tempting at first -- but on second thought I'd like pause available for guests too, with a clearly labeled button.  Why not?

Exit , pause and an macro for tab.

I have a multi-purpose button button next to the Player 1 start. In-game, it can be used to pause, exit (when pressed with Player 1 start) or held down in conjunction with up/down for volume control (thanks to Cabvol). In MameWAH, it is used to select a different system.
Other than that one button, I have a shutdown button on the top of my cabinet wired to Player 1 Button 8, and a TAB inside the coin door (shifted for F2 dipswitches--player 2 start button is the shift for F3 reset). The TAB button becomes "options" when in MameWAH.
Player 1 Start plus left on joy 1 is tilde settings.
Other shifted features to come once I set up the computer more....
