Correct me if I'm wrong, but NBA Jam only uses 3 buttons - same for Hangtime, NFL Blitz, Open Ice, etc.   

Maybe he's referring to the positioning?

Yes you are correct, he was referring to the turbo button working out well as the 7 button.

You could always map them with 2 rows or 3 like so if you want to avoid a 7th:

x X X
X x x

Still not the exact positioning as NBA Jam (a 7 button wouldn't accomplish this either) but it separates it.

I understand what you are saying but its hard to seperate buttons like that is your head when trying to play when they are surrounded by other buttons.

I mean it would be better just to use the top 3 buttons in this case but I think the best would be with the 7th button...

Since you're looking at lighting your buttons, I would also suggest that you have the buttons light up that you use on specific games.  I know you post at GameEx forums so I think you know that Headkaze's plugin allows you to specify what buttons are lit during specific games.  Regardless of what button setup you use, you can always use the plugin to make it easier for everyone to know what buttons to use.

And if you do use the Electric ice buttons, you can match the colors for the Neo Geo games to the actual buttons that were used on dedicated Neo Geo cabinets.
