I am new to this and I am currently making a MAME cabinet from a gutted Golden Tee Cabinet. I am rebuilding the control box. I have seen custom control boxes that are intendend to play all MAME games. The one that I currently have plans for is 2 joysticks on the left and right hand side with six buttons each ( street fighter style ), Track ball in the middle, spinner top middle, and another joystick at the top middle with 2 buttons. My question is what do you use the top middle joystick for? do you use it for games like pac man or other single player games? should I daisy chain the joystick to the player 1 controller on a IPAC board? Thanks for reading and the help.

You're correct. Often when there is a third joystick in the middle it's a 4-way for old games like Pac-Man.
As far as connecting it to the IPAC, that'll be someone else's reply.

I wouldn't daisy chain anything, as you would end up with 2 controllers on the deck active during gameplay. I would wire the 4-way (top middle joystick) as player 3 and adjust my control settings on a per-game basis so that the only active control set on the panel during gameplay is the person who's turn it is.
Hope that helps
