6 or 7 buttons next to main joystick?

blind_dado:
I noticed that it's pretty standard to have 6 buttons for each 8-way joystick, but sometimes there is a seventh.  What's that seventh one use for?  Do I need it?

RoomTenONine:
It is for Neo-Geo games that originall had a 4 button arc.

erictrumpet:
Total newbie question from a non-newbie. Always been afraid to ask this since it seems like I should know. What exactly are Neo-Geo games? I think it's an early multi-game machine, but not sure. Someone set me straight on this once and for all please!

Eric.

Early? No.
