      So how does everyone handle emulation of your console games in the cabinet. I see videos of folks with 6TB+ images with every generation of console listed. A single stick and 6 buttons doesn’t work for home games past what the Sega genesis?

      I’m building out plans for a cabinet build with a buddy and it clicked I don’t have enough buttons and the games are made to use a controller... so what am I doing...

          @sheldonmenez When building a cabinet, i wouldn't recommend relying only on builtin controls, the other common issues you might encounter :

          • no analog controls
          • weird layout for specific games (good luck playing mario kart or f-zero without triggers)
          • not enough controls for games that support 3+ players
          • a friend came playing and he prefers gamepad

          So yeah, you should definitely make plans for external controllers.

          • FBAlpha FBNeo (Arcade)
          • Kronos (Sega Saturn/ST-V)
          • YabaSanshiro (Sega Saturn)
          • Reicast Flycast (Dreamcast/Naomi/AtomisWave)
