Why do you need a diode for arcade buttons?

I really have no idea why on earth you'd need a diode. I might be wrong however :\

See now that we know that it's for a vci it makes more sense than just "diode for arcade buttons"
Yeah you do need them for the vci and they only work one way as for if they're the correct ones maybe someone else can answer that otherwise I suppose you may trust the shop!The Djtt Psychic Network has closed for the day.
