Yeah....I am not a big admin button fan. As hard as it is, what with all the different control types needed to play a majority of games correctly, I prefer a clean panel

Got a pic of that instruction card?
Crowquill:
Here you go. It's also available as a PDF for download over at localarcade.com (the arcade art library). I only included the basic controls people would need to play the game. I purposely left out 'pause' and 'insert coin' since you can't pause a true arcade game and I have a working coin door. Holding the 7th bottom-left button and pressing start pauses and holding down on the joystick while pressing start inserts coins. I figure it's kind of like knowing cheat codes for games. The 'exit to menu' command is probably overkill, but since I have a Frogger control panel, the start buttons are on the front where they can get bumped. I wanted to make sure I didn't exit out on accident.
EDIT: Added a pic of the control panel. This pic is from a short while back, but you can at least see the general layout. It now has shiny buttons and all of it's bolts.

I still think your exit to menu combo is too dangerous for my crowd of gameplayers. They're experts at pushing everything in sight at once, especially during fighting games. I'm a big fan of out of sight administration buttons, either above the marquee or hidden above the bezel, somewhere, anywhere, just not on the CP itself.

Admin buttons on commercial cabs are usually inside the cab.
