Controller board setup?

[casperse]

Hi All

I am in the middle of building a custom arcade machine in a old Sega machine

I want to have the best possible controls available and I need some help with the mapping of the control boards.

I have purchased two of these boards "1-player-zero-delay-led-pcb-for-ps3-pc-raspberry-pi":

The first ones are easy to map since they match a typical PS4 controller like this:

A,B,X,Y,L1,R1,L2,R2 ( These L3,R3 - are not on the machine so I guess I can use them for other things?)

And the Joystick would just be : 

Up, Down, Right, Left = Joystick Magstik Plus

But what about the rest ???? 

Home - Home as a dedicated Admin button just one? or one for each player?

Mode - N/A - Not needed since its going to be used for PC/Raspb.

Turbo - N/A - Not needed since its going to be used for PC/Raspb.

Clear - Clear=Exit just one as a Admin button? or one for each player?

Auto - N/A - Some Auto fire function not needed......

 

 

Select - would that be Coin 1 & 2? (Credits)

Start - Would that be Player 1 & 2?

 

2 x Power 5V for LED buttons

1 SANWA N/A (Not used)

 

Special dedicated buttons (For Easy user navigation):

2 x Coin buttons would this be Select ?

2 x Flipper buttons? (Could I use the L3,R3 from one of the boards ?)

2 x select buttons? same as Coin1 and Coin 2? - Wouldn't I miss a select button?

 

1 x PAUSE - Bigbox ?

1 x EXIT/BACK navigation button ?

1 x FAVORITE GAMES ?

 

Really looking forward to hearing from someone who have done this before? ?

 

BTW: I do have 2 extra USB ports for XBox or PS4 controllers if needed and a setup to use Wii controllers and a light gun... Hope to make this a multi two player arcade machine

 

Cheers

I think I have figured it out....

5 Modes buttons: (Don't really need these)  

Home - Home Admin button just one? or one for each player?

Mode - Digital/Analog controller board (Default is analog)

Turbo - Turbo (Fire)

Clear - Clear (Turbo/Auto Fire)

Auto - Auto (Fire)

 

Play buttons:

2 player x 6 buttons = 12 Buttons:

A,B,X,Y,L1,R1,L2,R2

 

Select - Coin 1 & 2

Start - Player 1 & 2

 

Up, Down, Right, Left = Joystick

 

2 x Power 5V

1 SANWA N/A (Not used)

 

Special buttons (Easy user navigation):

2 x Flipper buttons (L3,R3 controller board 1) or 2 extra special administration buttons?

1 x PAUSE - Bigbox (L3 controller board 2)

1 x EXIT/BACK - FAVORITE GAMES (R3 controller board 2)

Please if anyone think I have missed something let me know

 

Cheers
