button count?

Yeah, I realize that. I just wondered what the intended purpose of the button was on NeoGeo systems. So on NeoGeos it was mapped to its own?

yes, there were four unique buttons for a neogeo layout. The 4th button is usually used in fighters. Most people double up on a button for their MAME machine simply because very few games, if any, have a need for 7 independent buttons. You can do it either way though.
MYX:
On mine I did 7 on each side. I never use the second row buttons. But the 7 button on each side was specific to a type of game.
7
1 2 3 1 2 3
4 5 6 4 5 6
7
I use the diamond pattern on the left to play vanguard and the lower button on the right is used for games like asteroids that have a shield or hyperspace. In those cases, I use the 1&2 buttons on the right and left for left, right, thrust, fire.
Senator:
I was thinking of it the same, the 7th gives flexibility for certain games. I didn't realize the neo-geo thing and I understand that but I want to use 7th to the left of my joystick so I have my one primary key on the left for Joust, Galaga and Space Invaders. But for most others I want the primary to be the lower left of the 6-pack. Does anyone else wish they had the primary key sitting alone on the LEFT of the joystick.
Also, I'm using a KeyWiz Max and it has this Shazaam key. I think I can use it to switch configs for that 7th button so I can switch the primary from side to side. Anyone familiar with this encoder?

This is how my buttons are lit for NeoGeo games.
