How did you do that? are you using the wire harness from the U360 sticks, did u just dasiy chain button 4 and (4) 5 to one another, ie

   1234
  4(5)56

Ginsu Victim:

All buttons on the control panel are running through a Minipac. Only the second player stick has a harness wired in, and it's only running admin buttons hidden under the flip-up panel on the front of my CP.

As for how it was wired, you simply run the wire for button 4 to both buttons (I just ran two wires into a male crimp connector and plugged that into the button 4 female connector). I have since rewired it and made a second Mamewah system entry for only Neo Geo games in MAME, rather than using a CTLR file. My new setup is:

456
123
     7

We talked about this before.  A real easy way that will let you avoid having to mess with key mapings is:

1234
456

This way you have the 1-4 Neo style on top and the 1-3 over 4-6 Capcom style as well with no need to remap.  A lot of people do the following, but have to remap.

  123
  456
 7

I'm still on teh fence about what I want to do for my new CP, but I'm leaning towards the first one since all you have to do is wire both #4 buttons together.

Ginsu Victim:

It comes down to where you like your 1 button to be. I prefer to play mostly on the bottom row, and I don't care about Capcom fighters enough to care which row is punch or kick.

I'm pretty much the same except some of my friends are die-hard Capcom fans and would hang me if I switched them.
