Thanks Jeff I pop in now and then. Really have to limit my screen time these days.

I will have to explore the joystick choices. Like I said I am on the cheap with this one.
I cut out 4 sets of sides yesterday so I will be making more than 1 eventually. The rest will likely be no expense spared. :D

Unstupid and LeChuck those are beautiful cabinets you've got there. The artwork is what makes these little guys shine.
I should have done one of these long long ago.

Doing my first bartop cabinet, as a gift for someone. Was wondering how many buttons is the norm?
I've always used 6 on my CP's but I won't have that kind of room.

Thinking 2 per player but 3 or 4 could be possible if that opens up a bunch more games.

Thanks for the input.

I'd put two on the right, two on the left, and a joystick in the middle.  That would give you most one- or two-button games, plus the "hands spread" format for Asteroids-style controls.

But I don't really do fighter games, so if that's a priority, disregard...

Awesome idea.  Never thought of that and I do like the odd asteroid game. 

Thanks  :applaud:

Just curious if  one was to use a PSX 1/2 for a mini cab build would you use the same bartop format or have 4 diamond buttons like the joypad?

Thanks
