What are the "standard" admin buttons used for MAME?
NoOne=NBA=:
My only visible admin button is Pause.
It also acts as the shift key.
If you press the button and release it, it will pause the game.
If you press it and hold it, the other buttons become shifted, and will perform Tab, Enter, etc...

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. ;)

Excellent idea! Just wondering exactly how this was done though. Any chance of a 30second explanation? IPAC --> button1 NO, button1 GND --> button 2 NO, button2 GND --> IPAC or something like that?

I have a Yellow (Pause) button and Green (Exit) button on the top middle of my CP, just at the edge of the bezel and CP contact.
The Orange (Admin/Config) button is on the lower middle, just under the 'lip' of the CP and the Box the CP is mounted onto. It can't be hit without reaching under the CP lip to access it.

Exactly like that.
Exit button in series (two buttons pressed at the same time to cause one function):
IPAC control wire to button 1 NO, button 1 gnd wired to button 2 NO, button 2 GND to ground wire to IPAC.

Yep. And for pause the IPAC input connects to the NO on both buttons, and both buttons have gnd wires as normal.

Ditto on the "pause as shift key".
