Does the 7th button get in the way or cause confusion?

1234

You can still have this layout:

7456

And still not have to program EVERY SINGLE Neo Geo game in MAME for buttons 7456 (ABCD).

It's a simple edit in the ctrl file in MAME.  Essentially you tell MAME to switch the button assignments for ALL Neo Geo Games when they are launched.  Problem solved.  BYOAC user Headkaze even supplied an attachment to make installation a breeze.

I'm gonna use the LEDWiz kit so that it lights up only the buttons that are to be used for that game. Should save them "non-arcade people" of all the guess work. :dizzy:

I've never been a fan of the 7th button layout in any guise, nor has anyone I know locally. In England we never got to play many dedicated machines, especially Neo-Geo, so no-one I know misses them and none of our customers ask for them. One solution is to create a 6-button arc, to give a simulated 4-finger layout using button 4123. Something like this;
