Title: Using Player Two Button for Dual Purpose - Any Issues?
Post by: csnow on August 15, 2012, 08:10:21 am

I am wiring up my first control panel today.  I would like to use the player 2 button as both the player 2 input and a "fire" input.  Are there any issues with doing this?  I have a trackball and I would like to be able to use either left or right hand on it for Centipede.

Should work fine, I believe, was going to do this on my classics mame but realized I liked controlling with my left better.
