What games am I missing out on by only giving 6 buttons per player?
anormalgeek:
So after looking around at a bunch of examples, I see that a lot of people opted to put 7, 8 or sometimes even more buttons per player. I was planning on doing 6 per player (2 players) and I am just wondering if I'd be screwing myself for any games that need more. To clarify I'm only talking about actual "action" buttons and not admin buttons, start, coins, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Most people have 7 to emulate the Neo-Geo control style with the bottom row. Meaning the 3 buttons on the bottom and the 1 lone button below make up the same layout as the 4-button Neo-Geo games. I myself have a 4-player setup with 6 buttons for Players 1 and 2 and 4 buttons for Players 3 and 4. So far I haven't come across anything that can't be played using these buttons.

you're missing out on %60 of MAME games (MAHJONG GAMES).
Just kidding
7 Button Layout for Player 1-2 is good enough. For Player 3-4 4 buttons ea.

After having done this twice, I'm starting to wonder why I even bothered. I'm thinking of doing my next CP with only six buttons, except with the rows of buttons slightly shifted so that the Neo Geo layout is still there within the six buttons.
