I feel really dumb, but which button is #1?
Kharn:
I've installed all my buttons, mounted the IPAC, and now I'm staring at all the microswitches on the bottom of my control panel and I cant figure out one thing: In the standard layout, what number is each button?
My layout is two rows of three and then two more underneath:
__X_X_X
__X_X_X
_X_X___
Is it just:
__1_2_3
__4_5_6
_7_8___?
Thanks
Malenko:
yes
Ginsu Victim:
Depends on the user.
That's the Capcom 6-button standard, but I go:
456
123
7
Most people who play my cab for the first time assume the correct button when looking for button one. I don't like reaching across the other buttons for 1-3 button games.
Malenko:
I'll amend my previous statement. MAME sees it how you have it set in your button diagram up there, but with MAME you can change the keys to your liking
romshark:
Of course, if your cabinet can also play real arcade boards (that use more than 3 action buttons), you'll need to go with the "default" mapping. Most real arcade boards can't change button assignments.
But if you're strictly using a PC in your cabinet, just about any way will work (as long as MAME is set up properly.)
