Hey, working on a 60-in-1 for a Christmas gift project. Still collecting hardware but need to get art printed. Attached is a draft of my on-control-panel instructions. For those of you with an icade set to free play, do these instructions make sense?

Looks good to me. I really wish there was an option to remove the "preview" button. On mine people tend to press button 1 after pressing the Start button to go into the game selection screen, which brings them into preview mode, which IMO is annoying. I wish there was an option to turn it off.
Optional: I would consider adding something that says, "Use up all of your lives to exit" or something to that effect. (Not sure on wording) I've had people say to me, "How do I exit the game?" or "Where's the exit button" and I tell them they need to die until the game ends. Usually this is because they selected the wrong game by hitting the wrong buttons to start. But with the provided instructions, you may not need this extra verbiage.

"For games that support continues, just choose the same game again and you will pick up where you left off"

Definitely need instructions on how to exit.

Definitely need instructions on how to exit.
because it's set to freeplay, ending the current game will return you to the menu. there is no exiting once you load a game.
