Who makes their own games?
Chris:
High score entry: So many almost cab-friendly games expect a keyboard for high score name entry... that's always a pain.
Howard_Casto:
That's very true. Also any other hiscore entry besides the old-fashoned move the cursor and select your initials is down right annoying. I kinda hate the fact that sims like future pinball have this feature.

Heh... My Visual Pinball table, Fight Night, does all its configuration and high score entry through the flipper buttons and start button... but I had to write that into the script myself, no built-in support from the program.

Wow, I'm so behind the pinball times... I need to take a look at Future Pinball...

Highscore: Thank for that mind. There are many PC games, that use that, but what hell do they need the keyboard?
Even a trackball would been a lots better than keyboard, since you can use a joy2mouse script for "emulate" the mouse.
Best is of course avoid the trackball/keyboard for input the hiscore entry, if the game is joystick only game.
I guess we should add a wiki page about this subject?
Chris:
Rather than add a new Wiki subject, better to add it to the article on Cabinet-Friendly Software.
