How many buttons should I do on a cheap 60n1 I was thinking two joysticks and 6 buttons (2 being player 1 and 2) but looking at the instructions it is set up for 8 buttons (2 being player 1 and 2 start) I don't know all the games do I need the extra buttons?
 
Thanks

Good point just the cheap icade boards everyone here is selling it's set up for 2 players I know that much (only a couple games use it) but what I don't know is if any games use a joystick plus 3 buttons or if a joystick plus 2 buttons is enough.

I have a 60-1 barcade I threw together. I put in a joystick + 3 buttons. I have yet to find a game that uses the 3rd button. The 39-1 cocktail I did a while back just had 2 buttons. I think you could get away with just the 2.
 
Arkanoid and Gunsmoke.
Gunsmoke can be set for 1 button.
Arkanoid only uses a third button to select a level IRC...

you're thinking of breakout, not arkanoid.

And you can get away with 4 buttons - P1 Start, P2 Start, Button 1 and Button 2.

But I prefer three button Gunsmoke play, because it sucks in 1 button mode...
