| To link or not to link buttons, that is the question! |

| Visitor Q:
As I have stated before in some of my posts I plan on getting a layout similar to the picture attached this thread and my question is this. Does it make sense to link buttons on a control panel like this? In other words I am talking about linking button 1 player 1 to button 1 for the spinner or say the pinball buttons on the sides to other buttons up top? I plan in using an Ipac to control this panel which gives me 28 keys but I could just go to the next step up and get the one that has 56. My thoughts where that I would rather have each button mapped to its on key press to give me the ultimate control over my panel. As this would not play so much into Mame, I think it could be used more in configuring keys for other emulators that have more buttons then the standard 6 or 7 key layout. If not that, it would give me total freedom to program any button as it’s on the panel. Does this make sense? Thoughts? Thank You. |

Pretty much, if you have the inputs available to do it, wire everything individually. If you need to save them for other admin functions or whatever, sharing inputs is fine. |
| Visitor Q:
So having them separate would make sense then in having the most control correct? I mean there is no down fall to this is there? |
| Ginsu Victim:
No downfall I can think of. More overall control that way. |

Ok, thanks what I thought but I wanted to make sure by asking first. If anyone else has anything to add about this, please do. Thanks. |
