I'm not convinced this is wrong. http://www.coinop.org/kb_dl.aspx/KB/gametech/centipede%20tech.html

No.11928 NekoEd Senior Tester Aug 2, 2015, 03:57	These are features/limitations of MAME's input system (depending on how you want to look at it). The inputs are physically there on the boards, even if they're not used, so it's technically correct. Closing as per that explanation, if a dev wants to comment or reopen, feel free.
