Need Help Deciding on Control Panel
DeLuSioNal29:
You need 3 for shmups. Most use two (shoot and bomb) but some use 3 (ESP Ra.De. comes to mind).
Also classics like Punch Out (GREAT for a vertical machine) uses 3 buttons (left punch, right punch and uppercut)

Paradise Arcade as a silent (leaf like) JLF stick for sale.... Not sure if it worth the $50 they are asking as I haven't actually tried it yet.

3 buttons for each player will take care of like all shmups out there.
I believe there is only one that uses 6 buttons.
I know a lot guys reccomend the Seimitsu for shmups, I have never tried them but do plan to. I love my Sanwa JLW with round restrictor and cherry switches from a happ super. its very quiet and handles great. I love it for gyruss

Yeh I might just go with 2 hot swap panels then, a 4 way and a 8 way. I dont think ill be able to deal with looking at 2 different ball top on the same panel :lol

Personally, I like how my layout works. I have 2 Sanwa JLWs, with 4 buttons each (because I still play Neo Geos).
My left joy is dedicated 8 way with round gate and my right Joy has a regular square gate from an omni 2. I keep my right joy normally in 4-way mode and I kick it into 8-way mode as needed.

No Doubt your cab looks good, how wide is your control panel!
