The button layout looks a little crazy unique.  Is there a pattern that I'm missing?  There's 8 buttons so I assume it will be used for console games, it's not capcom or snk layout, how does someone know which button to press?

looking at those coin mechs, it looks the same as the "Ultimate All in One Coin Mech" mod thats accepts any size Token/Coin.

ya because i run , psx , dc , n64 , snes , mame and a few others , it took some time to work out how to do the buttons , take the psx for starters , you got 4 buttons , and 4 l/r ones , not to mention the start and select buttons and the joy - on most console it's a diamond of 4 buttons with the l/r on either side of the top ( http://www.lucindrea.com/cabinet/psx.jpg ( i hit paste twice so ignore the second R2 ) )  , what your not seeing is the 2 buttons on the sides used in pinball :-) .. for the most part only 4 or so are used , and i'm useing johnny5  to bring up the mappings before the game launches  , and the option to re-map anything is allways their as a KB sits behind the coin door.

the coin mechs are standard mechs , i did alter one to accept any coin ( the susan B mech i had as i have no use for SBA's ) , but i do have 2 25C ones and 2 token ones .. this acctully leaves me at least 2 spares. ( shipping and maby 5$ each and i'm willing to part with the spares ) ... no idea if i'm going to wire up the mag in the coin mechs as i dont see much use for it ( it 's main function is to eject coins when the machine is not on ) , but the lights will be hooked up :-) ... the thing will mainly be a piggy bank for loose change that gets tossed in a basket with my keys when i get home each night .. figure i get 30$ - 40$ evetry 6 months out of that basket , so in , oh 15 years , the csabinet will pay for it's self
