| Bender:
my thinking on the 1 and 2 button games is that the buttons on the old games were pretty far from the joystick so I was trying to replicate that, and it feels really good to me yeah the 4 button non neo geo I'm not sure about. In the limited research I did, I saw some original cp's espcially 4 button fighters set up that way or do you just mean that there shifted away from the joystick? how would you do the 4 button layout? and there are also a few that I've customized on an individual game basis examples: star wars has 4 buttons and I set those up neo geo style tron I have my top fire button mapped as button 1 as well as one on the CP |

I have mine set up differently apparently. I have them wired as follows: 5 6 7 2 3 4 1 I use the bottom row for 1-4 button games and they are very comfortable. I do use cfgMagician to modify my mappings for 5 and 6 button games though. For those I use: 6 button: 1 2 3 4 5 6 x 5 button: 1 2 3 4 2 5 x My layout is arched, so the lower middle SF button (wired button 3) is about where the middle button is on MK in it's 5 button config. I have the top and bottom button mapped to the same since, as I recall, that's block. That way if I hit the wrong button it doesn't really matter. The alternative would have been: 1 x 2 3 4 5 x I also use CPWizard to show what's what, so there should be no confusion for guests either. |

Gary, sorry for the slight hijack, but there is some good info here great to see how other people set up there button layouts Ginsu, thanks, I think I'm going to go with neo geo for most 4 button games except fighters. For those aren't 1,2 on the top row and 3,4 on the bottom again for me it's more comfortable to have the buttons further away from the joystick so that's why I have them shifted to the right bkenobi, mine is arched too, the 5 button SF layout works very well |
| Malenko:
I prefer bender's way. it covers SO many configs pretty closely without being frankenpanelly. in addition to what he posted, I use 123 from the neo geo layout for games like NBA Jam, the 1 button is perfect for turbo |
