Admin Esc Button - Where do you put yours?

<< < (5/9) > >>

Moose13:
I use Maximus Arcade. You can program 2+ buttons for functions.
I have 1Player(coin) + 2Player(coin) as exit to fronent,
1Player+pause for Exit to Windows
and 2Player+pause to exit and turn off machine.

MazzMn:
 Pause - Escape - Coin - PI - PII

I put the pause on the end instead of escape as it I want it to be easy to hit pause in the heat of battle. I did use another color for admin buttons too but kind of regret it looks wise.

Once again for my CAB, I would like to have buttons for the 3 ADMIN controls.  The SHIFT key is only for me to use when I need to do some work with the DIP Switches, setup, etc.

Thinking of this kind of setup:

PAUSE    VIEW CONTROLS (for CP WIZ)                               EXIT

I'll keep the EXIT button further away so nobody accidentally pushes it.

Is there a program out there for the keyboard that I can program to hold the EXIT button down?

DrFrag:
I'm putting a row of 8-10 admin buttons just below the screen.  Not full size pushbuttons, but small discreet square ones.  I know some people dislike that because it's not authentically arcade, but it's what I've opted for.  They can be independently disabled via switches in the lockable keyboard tray, and will light up with LEDs to show which ones are enabled.  There will also be a switch to disable all LEDs in case that gets annoying.  :)

My thinking is that if I play at home I'd like to have access to Tab and Esc and Save and things like that without having the keyboard tray open.  But if there's a small party, I'll disable Tab and other functions I don't want people messing with.  And if I take it to a LAN, I'll disable even more including Pause.

Yes, I'm sure I've read of such a thing in these forums.

i have two esc buttons, they are the yellow ones in the pic.  i am going to be rebuilding my panel here shortly, and i am thinking of removing both of those and making one esc button in the back, at the center.




on a side note, how do you have a button mapped to show the controls? does this work while the game is running, or only from the front end?
