Title: Extra buttons for P3 & P4
Post by: daveg2000 on May 01, 2005, 03:50:33 pm

Okay.. theres been alot of talk if more than 4 buttons are needed
for 4-player games.... (on P3 & P4's controls)

But... what games actually use 4 buttons?

I can only think of games that need 3...
All of the Turtles, Simpsons, Sunset Riders, Jam, etc... all use 3,
dont they?

What you said is correct.  You only need 4 buttons for players 3+4.  There are only a few four player games that actually use all 4 buttons, (the two capcom dungeon and dragons beat em ups are the only ones I know of).

I can't think of any others, but I am hardly an expert ...

Cheers

Yep, dungeons and dragons for ARCADE.

For console emulation, you might need up to eight buttons for P3 and P4, but you are probably better with a gamepad and front-side USB ports anyway.

I had it with only 2 for a while.. and I had to get out the keyboard out often. 

I added the 2 extra buttons back... Even though I took apart my 4player control panel...  (but I hope to build it back up again...)
