G1zm0:
hi got a 4 button cab set up with mame.

i want to add
sms
super famicom
dreamcast
psx
genesis

 are 4 buttons enough for all these emus (i know dc,psx was more, hopefully some games on these systems will work)
 

i took a look at the emus but they all config to 6?
Sardu:
Genesis was  A,B,C, X,Y,Z and start   (most games just used A,B,C)  (7 Buttons)

Super NES/Super Famicom was  A,B,X,Y,L and R, Start and Select   (8 buttons)

SMS was just 2 buttons.

Dreamcast was A,B,X,Y, R and L, Start  (7 buttons)


4 might not cut it for most of those.  :-\
severdhed:
i have to agree...that is just not enough buttons.  you said you have a 4 button cabinet, is that 4 main action buttons?  do you have start and coin buttons for each player as well?  if so, those will take care of your start and select buttons
 

if you are planning on doing alot of console emulation, you will need more buttons.  you could easily do NES, SMS, Turbografx, and alot of genesis games with 4 buttons though.
G1zm0:
thanx, yes 4 action buttons it has and a coin and start, coin wouldt be needed as consols didnt require credits.

is there a program like rom lister to filter games to required button specs??
Malenko:
I think you need 6 action buttons if you want SNES and genesis (near end of life genesis got 6 buttons)

6 action buttons and start covers more consoles better then 4. Select can always be the coin button, heh
