New cabinet project - Currently Un-named
brewerdude:
The trackball and spinner arrived today. I was extremely impressed. I ordered two days ago, and they made it from England that fast!
Unfortunately, they sent the wrong color. I ordered pearl blue. :( Hope the RMA process with Ultimarc is smooth.
brewerdude:
And here's what the control panel will look like.
I did this in Visio and created a stencil for the Ultimarc U-trak.
PL1:
I assume that is a spinner directly above the trackball.
I notice that you have 7 admin buttons -- a cluster of 5 in the center and 1 lonely button (P1/P2 start?) in each corner.
What admin buttons do you plan on using?

P1 Start/P2 Start (1/2) Sobbing gently and banished to their corners all by themselves. :'( :cry: >:D
Exit/Quit (Esc)
Menu (Tab)
Pause (P)
Standard stuff. Looks good so far. . .
Only 1 coin button (5) means only credits for player 1. Will player 2 have to use tokens to load credits?
Setup (F2) - I can't figure out why this one is on the control panel. :dunno
Seems like a small Bluetooth keyboard stuffed inside the coin door opening would cover this on the rare occasions it is needed.
What FE and/or emulators besides MAME are you planning on running?
-- The answer to this question may change what admin buttons you want/need.
Also, since you placed an order with Andy, I'm guessing you are using either an I-Pac or a Mini-Pac. (Keyboard-type encoder instead of a gamepad-type encoder.)
-- Some emulators like Visual Pinball prefer keystrokes instead of gamepad button pushes, requiring you to use joy2key or xpadder software.
