six button per player setup (slikstik)?
Rhetro:
Hello!
I'm setting up a the control panel for my cabinet, and am curious about some of the configurations that are out there.
I know that slikstik has a setup where there are six pushbuttons per player?
Are there any games that have a use for so many???
I realize that you could probably program some of the newer games to support those buttons instead of using the keyboard.
but....Mame???
It seems like overkill to me, but maybe I'm wrong. I just don't want to waste my money buying buttons I'm not going to use. Not to mention taking up control panel real estate.
Thanks in advance!
TalkingOctopus:
6 buttons are used for Capcom fighting games like Street Fighter. If you are not interested in fighting games, you'd probably be happy with 4 buttons in a neogeo configuration.
You can use sortinfo to get a rough idea of what games need 6 buttons:

You might find a few people (like me) also have a 7 button layout. 4 buttons along the button for neo-geo games, the six grouped together for SF games.
Do you play the neo-geo games? That's 4 buttons wide - that's the important dimension we're concerned with. Having buttons above them doesn't really impact on space.
You just need to work out if you think there's any games out there that you play or like to play and if you want to try and recreate the button layout to suit.

So do you set up the 7 buttons like this???
4
1 2 3
4 5 6
OR
4
1 2 3
5 6 7
Mine is setup wrong right now and I want to get it correct for NEO-GEO and Street Fighter.
MadEditor:
It would be more like this ...
5 6 7
2 3 4 <--- This is the 4 buttons layout for neogeo games...

Then you just have to configure mame to use the four ones for Neogeo and for tjhe other games the six group buttons
