Does the 7th button get in the way or cause confusion?
(1/4) > >>
javeryh:
I'm very tempted to add it to the CP I'm building but I'm afraid it will cause a lot of confusion for the non-arcade people who will be playing more than I will be.  With the 6 button layout, the one in the lower left could always be "button 1" for every game - no confusion.  To the people who have the 7th button - what are your experiences with others trying to walk up and play without asking questions?
Malenko:
people hit every button at least once to see what it does.

Im a huge fan of the 7th button, makes the perfect neo geo layout, and ABC of the neo geo layout recreates the JAMMA arc pretty well

So it's not an issue for me ;D

Haven't had problems yet.  Works great for Neo Geo too.

I'll be doing seven buttons in my build this summer, but I'm not sure where to place the "extra Neo-geo" button.  I know most cabs have 3 on top and 4 on the bottom like this:

  123
7456

That just seems more of a pain because you'll have to specially map the 7456 for all Neo-geo games (I guess not that big of a deal).  I just seems more simple to do this:

1234
456

Here you don't have to reprogram for specific games if you wire both #4 buttons to the same input on your interface.  Use the 3 over 3 for Street Fighter type games and the 4 on top for Neo-geo.  This just seems so simple, but then I may be missing something....any thoughts from the experts?
