Hello everyone, I am a first time poster and first time cabinet builder. I have just about finished my first cabinet, it is a simple one that is slimmer than most that will use an LCD so I can save some space in the house. Anyway I am using an old X-Arcade controller to cannibalize in order to make my control panel. My basic layout is two player, 6 buttons each side with a coin and start button above their individual sections. I still have 4 buttons left over that I am deciding if I need to install anywhere else. My main question is when it comes to using front ends is it beneficial to have a button or two that can control things other than game actions such as one to exit the game or some other action that needs to be accomplished so I do not have to pull out the keyboard. Thank you for any help. If I can figure out how to post a picture I will post one of it. Just don't laugh at my Avengers wrapping paper background as I needed to put something in there until I can design and print a custom one. (http://i.imgur.com/JtscxTc.jpg)
