Simple question and am having trouble finding the answer. :)
How many buttons should I put on an Arcade which is also going to be running Visual Pinball and Future Pinball?
1 on each side (for a total of 2)
-or-
2 on each side (for a total of 4)
Would you ever need a total of 4 pinball flipper buttons?

I think the second set are for right and left tilt nudge
not sure though
BobA:
Future pinball supports nudge Left and Right as well as up. A second flipper control can be placed on each side but is seldom used right now. So 2 buttons 1 for nudge and 1 for flipper on each side and perhaps a nudge up on the front of the cabinet.
Derrick Renaud:
There used to be a game with a button on each side to energize the magnets in the playfield. Can't remember the name or if it is emulated. So that would make 3 buttons. I have 2 on each side myself. Flip and Tilt.
cmoses:
Black Knight is the pinball game that has the magnets in the playfield that was activated by the buttons on each side next to the flippers. I think it is emulated in VPinball as well.
Most people use the second button as a right and left nudge.
