Not necessarily!!! If some of those buttons are hardwired  as dedicated "Shazaaam + input" buttons then you can have a lot more buttons if you want them.

That said, I'm not sure why he has quite so many buttons to start with!

You can indeed program 15 different profiles in the Keywiz Uploader Software. But you can only send one of them to the Keywiz interface at any one time.  Those profiles overwrite the default RAM set.

That is indeed what profiles are for..... When you design new button asignments in the Keywiz software, and upload them to the Keywiz, they overwrite the default RAM set.... you can then switch to that RAM set by holding down the Shazaaam Key and pushing your joystick to the right.

You can NOT however overwrite the keys in the default ROM set... (they are stored permanently in the keywiz)  ROM = READ ONLY MEMORY. Which means you can't write to it.

After you finish and power down the keywiz, your custom button set is lost and the Keywiz resets to having the Default RAM set available. This means that the next time you start up your computer you will have to send your custom keyset to the keywiz again.

Your custom Keyset will only be stored in the Keywiz RAM while it has power on.

yes this is a 2 player panel, the extra buttons are proably ones I may not use but thought I should include them, they are 0-service coin, F1-raster special effects, F2-Test service which I may not include.  these are the buttons I am inculding:

6 buttons on each joystick for street fighter bringing the total so far to 12
Tilde
tab
enter
pause
F3 reset
backspace & Home used for Gameex to get back to main screen and backspace to previous screens
1P
2P
Coin 1 & coin 2 ( i think only one of these is necessary please correct me)
I am also wiring a 4 way joystick but I assume I can wire that with the same connections as the 1player 8way.

I am looking to you guys for advice on what I do and dont need. thanks

Personally, I have 12 player buttons (6 for each player), Coin 1 & 2, Player 1 & 2, Shazaam and Pause. Everything else is Shazaam + one of the other buttons. Though I'm running Mamewah so I don't need the keys to navigate as in Game-ex - just remapped some of the functions in Mamewah to keys that I already have.

I also have a flipper and tilt button on each side of the cab for pinball as well...

I kinda like the look of all the buttons which is another reason why I have them all,  I guess I could shazaaam them if I needed to, I will probably shazaaam 2-4 buttons. thanks
