Please read it's not your typical Mame cabinet question.
Recently acquired a 4 player Konami cabinet and I pick up a TMNT board this weekend (love the turtles art so I'm ordering new art today) But now my mind has been working OT thinking that I have 2 more spots (one is reserved for KI) in my arcade and there are so many games I still want. I have all dedicated machines and have always disliked Mame and emulation because mainly because of all the buttons. Sounds dumb but if there are 2 buttons for a game I only want 2 buttons on the CP. I DO NOT want to have to think about what buttons to use.
So with all that said I've been thinking maybe trying emulation for strictly 4 player 2 button games in this turtles cabinet. Any issues with game play in the Mame 4 player games? What other games am I missing from this list?
TMNT
Turtles in time
Simpsons
Sunset riders
Wrestlefest
Spider-Man
Gauntlet
Cadillac and dinosaurs
Caption commando
Vigilante
Gi Joe
Rampage
Cowboys of Moo Mesa
I'm pretty sure I do not want any 3 button games, again I hate having to think about what buttons to hit plus want to maintain the orginal turtles control panel look. I already have dedicated Blitz 99 and NBA JAM (looking for the hockey PCB to run a switcher) so 3 button sports games are covered. Also considering running some 3 button 4 player boards in my JAM cabinet so I think a dedicated 2 button cabinet is all I need
Anyone try this set up before? Am I an idiot for these thoughts? Opinions?
