You can do just about anything you want, all you need is a drill.

What would the point be? Double Dragon is a standard Jamma game, ie 3
buttons a controller. You should be able to play just about any other
standard Jamma game with that setup as the standard only allows for a
maximum of 3 buttons per controller without adding an additional
harness which would be game specific for the most part anyway (ie SF2
or MK).

Are you trying to add an extra button for a specific game (ie Neo Geo)
or are you trying to add like a 'credit' button or something like that?

Right now its like asking if you could put a trackball on a Galaga
control panel. You definitetly can (with a drill) but it wouldn't
really do anything because obviously, galaga doesn't use a trackball.

It's four, you have attack, jump, use item, and select item.

So are you saying that the fourth button for both players 1& 2 would
hook up directly to the board and not the jamma harness? Or would
wiring to the harness still need to be done? I wish there was someone
around this area that i knew that i could just pay to have it done.
Make it alot easier...
