What are the "standard" admin buttons used for MAME?
TelcoLou:
Well, I'm in the process of designing the CP layout, and was wondering what the general consensus was in regards to admin. buttons.
I'll be using MAMEwah as the front-end, and to save space, will have the admin buttons on the left-hand side of the panel (where the "pinball" buttons usually go).
I know of "TAB" (to go into MAME's options screen) and "ESC" to exit the game, and figured I'd use a dedicated button for the MAMEwah options screen (not sure which keyboard button to map to this though, as I am currently using a Logitech gamepad with L2 + R2 for this function)
I'll (eventually, when the funds allow) be ordering a pre-made 2-player CP from arcadesrfun, and wanted to have a design and layout ready when the time comes ;)
Any and all suggestions, tips and guidelines would be most appreciated. 8)

Honestly, I have one admin button on my cabinet and it is on the back side of my control panel for TAB. The rest of the admin buttons I either use a hidden keyboard, or have them programmed to shifted buttons on the I-PAC.

I have Exit and Pause, the rest are shifted.

Ditto, but I have 2 exit (in series) and 2 pause (in parallel) - 1 set on the left and 1 set on the right. Both exit buttons required to exit, and either pause button will pause. BTW, the series/parallel idea was the idea of someone else here in BYOAC - I don't claim credit for the idea. ;)

ESC and pause is all I seems to need when playing. I have more that I can set up for other things but i have not needed them. I am thinking an enter key bay be useful at times.
