Button Masher

@JoeViking245 Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. Do you have an arcade cabinet? If you do, how to you have your buttons mapped? I'm looking for advice on the best way to map the inputs that will minimize conflicts and give the best overall user experience.

I would like to have a stream lined input mapping for my arcade cabinet that would allow me to navigate Bigbox, control games, quit back to front end and not have any cross emulator conflicts. Is there any references, tutorials or recommended mappings for an arcade cabinet to play nice across emulators without the need for a keyboard? My arcade sticks and buttons are mapped to the keyboard and am having issues with conflicts across different emulators. ie buttons work in mame but conflict in retroarch causing quits, pauses or reloads etc.
