Designing Control Panel, Need Input

You are right, its MUCH better to have big ugly tron stick permanently on your CP, rather than just swapping one in when you, oh, actually play Tron.

I agree, the PERFECT way to play Tron is camped out way to the right of the screen.

Nah,  X2 wouldn't go near that thing... the cupholders aren't authentic enough, they will hold beverages ok, but putting the beverages in and pulling them out is nothing compared to the feel of actually resting a beer on an authentic classic arcade CP....

You guys crack me up.

A pic of my control panel is in this thread up top, show me whats in the way & make some suggestions....seriously I am always up for input.

I have a 37" LCD in a showcase cab now so I am never cramped or too far right of the 3 foot long screen by sliding over half a foot. Besides a little tiny turd panel would be ridiculous on such a large screen/machine. Furthermore the Tron stick is just above the player 2 controls. No one ever feels cramped or like "baby in the corner" when playing MK or SF so why would they when Tronning it up?

"Wait you want to play tron, hang on let me go get my suitcase of parts & wire/assemble this up real quick"

vs

"You want to play Tron? Move your hand 5 inches to the right & just play it".

I prefer the latter, you prefer the first.

X2 hates my panel, I made sure he disliked 100% of it before sending it to the CNC shop

zallax:

Any control panel that is designed to comfortably and easily play your favorite games, is a good control panel. 

BTW, PinballWizard79, I love your cabinet -- and game room for that matter.   :cheers:

pinballwizard79:

Thank Zallax, I appreciate it & agree a comfortable panel that plays my fav games is a good panel :cheers:

Ive got no beef with X2, Don or Gorilla either since this is what BYOAC is all about (dorks arguing over dork stuff).

To the OP, just build a functional frankenpanel that accommodates the games you want to play.
