not really. No game uses the Dpad and the joystick at the same time for different inputs.  so its 7 buttons (ABXYLR + start) and the stick/dpad.

Good to know. I'd still rather setup 7 buttons to cover mame 6 button fighters, and a row of 4 for neo geo games. Then add ports for console controllers.
