The 7th button....What is it used for?

(1/6) > >>

What is the 7th button used for. I keep seeing people say its for neo-geo games. Is that all it would be used for. What does it do in neo-geo games? Ive also seen people say they just hook the 7th button up to another button. So two buttons are wired into 1 spot on the ipac. What purpose does this serve? Could some one shed a little more light on this subject, before I drill my CP for a 7th button? Thanks.


One more question also. Since I will be drilling my holes for my buttons today. I'am also drilling for my Joysticks. I have Happs Super Joysticks. What size of hole do I drill for these? Are they also 1 1/8" holes?

Bgnome:
neogeo games only use 4 buttons.  the reason people put a button down there is because it places the 4th button in a location that closer resembles the neogeo layout.  if you are not very familiar with neogeo games and you dont really care about the layout then you dont really need an extra button down there..

Ok, then I think I will pass on the 7th button for now.

But what about my other question? Im heading to Lowes right now, and need to know if I need a different size hole saw.  ;D

Bgnome:
the same size hole saw can be used for the joysticks also..

You might like neogeo games though :)  Many are very good.  Like the Metal Slug series.  But those only need 3 buttons anyway.
