Game buttons
Avinitlarge:
And for the time being, Ive got to stick with one joystick and 3 buttons. My girlfreind likes the fighting games where I like Horizontal/Vertical Shooter's., I think the kids will play anything. But at the end of the day, Its my cab.
I have already got an idea in mind for a 2 player, 6 Button CP. VERY similar to this one
Epyx:
Or:
6 buttons -> 10%
5 buttons -> 3%
4 buttons -> 13%
3 buttons -> 21%
2 buttons -> 33%
1 button -> 20%
;)

I didn't imply that you did ... in fact, that is why I labeled it as Beretta's "most people" configuration.
I happen to agree with you that MOST people would go that way. Perhaps I should have dropped your name off of the label.
The point I was trying to make is that it is entirely wrong to decide on a single control set based on what other people do or the number of games that you can play. What most people do doesn't allow them to play some rather cool and desirable games, such as Donkey Kong or Pac Man, correctly.

i originally had two 8 ways, 6 buttons each, a trackball and a spinner. that way i could play just about anything i wanted. after a while i realized i hardly ever used the spinner or trackball, so i pulled them out. then one day on the cabinet at work, my boss got me playing centipede, and i was hooked. after a while, i decided that i had to have a trackball. i then went with ultrastik 360s so i could play 4 way games effectively, without having to have a dedicated 4way stick.
i soon started realizing that 95% of the time I was playing 4way games that have a vertical monitor orientation....so therefore i got a DK cabinet and set it up with mame with only a 4way stick, 1 button and a vertical monitor. now, i hardly ever even turn my regular mame cabinet on because just about everything i want to play is on my DK cabinet. (if only it had a trackball, i'd probably never use my other cabinet)
my point is, look at the list of games you want to play, and make your panel to fit that. you can always make interchangeable panels later. more than likely you wont be happy with your first panel anyway...most of us weren't. dont worry about what your friends want to play...they will be very impressed with it, no matter what the game selection is like.
