How many admin buttons should I use on my CP?
miles2912:
Mouse 1 and 2 only because I use the cab for more than just mame. A pause button - HUGE when the phone rings. I love my games but need to talk to people to make money to pay for all the toys. And 1 coin button. The 3 or 4 games that need a second coin button (Gauntlet comes to mind) I just map one of the buttons from player 2's "6-Pack". Esc - Tab - Enter are all done with a shift button (player 1 start). Only time this is a problem is when they are pumping in credits and player one dies and hits the start button. They learn real quick not to do that again.

mouse buttons can be wired to use buttons from each player (like button 4 if you have a 4-button setup).
I have EXIT and PAUSE

For my favourite admin panel, I pulled out the original double coin mech and sold it on ebay for about $20. I replaced it with:
- a volume control
- a four-port powered USB hub;
- a DVD drive;
- an IPAC shift button (also keyed to ENTER); and
- a pause button (blue, to be lit).
A credit button is on main control panel.
Ripping CDs is such a breeze with this!! I cut holes out of an old dinner place mat, and spray painted it with matt black enamel. Everything is mounted into the original metal DVD drive cage and supported rock-solid by the four bolts. There was a bit of ingenious carpentry involved too ....
Since taking this photo I "blacked" the exposed edge to match the panel.

I added a RESET button. This comes in handy as I really $%^& at a lot of games and find it easier to restart the game quickly before anyone see how awful my score is currently. :P
