Admin Esc Button - Where do you put yours?

Pages: << < (6/9) > >>

TelcoLou:

I noticed that not many folks have their admin buttons on the bottom, left side (where pinball buttons usually go). I think it's the optimal solution; out of the way and accessible at the same time.

I use a combination of buttons that are already on the control panel for the admin escape to provide less clutter on the panel. To escape from a game on mine the player must press, 1st player, 2nd player, and coin at the same time to esc.

Boodroe, what program or FE do you use that you can program the sequence?

Severdhed, I'm using CPWIZ to view controls while the game is running.  The cool thing about the program is:

-You can map out a specific button to "view" CP
-The game will pause, then unpause when you hit the "view" button
-The CP view can hide the buttons that are not in use and will label what each button is for.  ie. PUNCH, KICK, SHOOT, BLOCK, etc.
-The CP Panel is totally customizable (sp?) and can be used for console games too :)

Really a cool program and Headkaze is always willing to answer questions.  I'm sure it has more features but I'm getting what I want out of it :)
