@BJRetro said in New to this, need help!:
@drevil2002 yeah you should have a dedicated start and select button. Makes it much easier for people to use when they know how to put a coin in and how to start the game.
I second that, although without the currency symbols that I fail to add to the yellow coin buttons on my own DIY upright cabinet (recently updated with two spinners, yay!), some people likewise fail to recognize them as coin buttons. ;) I still can't decide if I want to use Dollar ($) or Yen (¥) symbols …
@drevil2002 As for the number of buttons, I recommend at least six per player, or, if you have the space, even eight. Apart from being able to map the four-in-a-row button layout of the Neo Geo and Vectrex controllers accurately, you could put additional functions on the excess buttons like pause, screenshot etc.
