Title: * RESOLVED * do I need to use Start and Coin wires to my buttons
Post by: dashingw on April 02, 2015, 04:14:40 pm

Okay Probably a stupid question but im wiring up an Ipac Ultimate to 2 joysticks and 11 buttons. Thats it ,so I am going to have a bunch of wires and daisy chain wires left over that just hang there and go nowhwere.

I dont see any reason to use the start and coin slots for buttons as I can make any button do that anyway correct ?? Or am I missing something.

I'm just making a One Player with 2 Joys, 8 Player 1 buttons and 3 misc buttons at the top I will use for Start, Coin ans Esc...

So Obviously I will have to use the 2 Player joy slots for the other player 1 joystick and 3 buttons from the player 2 for the buttons at the top...

Just make your life simple and wire up those buttons. That way you don't have to reprogram anything.
