Not really. Actually, according to the IFI specs, if you hook up a switch to port 4:

Code:
pin 5 - same as OI Port 1 Joystick Trigger Switch - p1_sw_trig
pin 8 - same as OI Port 1 Joystick Thumb Switch - p1_sw_top
pin 9 - same as OI Port 1 Aux Switch1 - p1_sw_aux1
pin 15 - same as OI Port 1 Aux Switch2 - p1_sw_aux2
So the switches that are hooked up to port 4 would acutally be read using the port 1 variables.
