Button number order!! Help me out!
(1/6) > >>
RedSquirrel:
I am soon to be wiring up my control panel but i need to find out some answers on the order of buttons.

I have a 7 button style neo geo layout out, with pinball buttons on either side.

Oh and by the way I am duplicating the 7th neo geo button. I want to use the 3 on the top row and the 7th button ie

 123
 456
4

Is this how I should order the buttons?

Secondly, what buttons should I assign the pinball buttons to? 1 + 2?

Thanks for any helpo?

OR

  123
7456

OR

123
4567

I reread your post, it sounds like you are doing something like

1234
  567


Yeah, pinball buttons can be whatever.

Well, I want to use the top three buttons along with a 4th button, but i am unsure on which button this needs to be.

I would not make the pinball buttons 1 & 2.
1 is okay on the left if that's where player 1 is. Unless you install a switch to turn the right side off, your buddy is gonna be wasting your grenades (or whatever) hitting your #2 button.

Maybe something like Player 1-Button 1 on the left and Player 2-Button 1 on the right. And than change the key mappings for whatever pinball games or simulators you'll be running.

I get what you're doing with the #4 button. Its under the second row of buttons. That'll work fine... just make sure you remap the bottom row to 1-2-3 on your neo geo games.... or remap them to 2-3-4... and duplicate button #1

 123           xxx
 456    ->   234
1              1
