Little kids need to keep their damned grubby hands off of the admin buttons!

Re: p3 & p4 - on my cab there is going to be USB ports on the underside of the control panel. There will be xbox 360 wired controllers in the coin door. Being player 3 or 4 is a punishment - they shoulda called dibs or arrived earlier.

You can angle joysticks as long as you angle the control panel as well. Much better than ending up staring at the back wall when playing.

 You could, but you will still have players hitting the wrong direction, because even with your body facing the same direction as the sticks... 'up' will always be parallel to the monitor as far as a player is concerned.  Especially since theres no time to think about it.

 The proof is pretty much solidified in the Arcades.  Out of all the games ever made, I dont think there is more than one that has angled sticks. (is there even one?)

 (not counting game intentionally angled diagonally, like Qbert.  Im talking 4 player style)

 Some Idiot angled a Pedestal Tekken III machine with angled sticks and it totally messed me over, as well as many others.   Sure it matched the angles of the panel... but you dont Look at the panel when you play.  You look at the screen.
And theres no way to tell by feel which way is UP either.  Even if you made a braille type of carved CP system, it probably would still see mistakes / failures.
