Button layout question
<< < (2/6) > >>
ron310:
I'm starting to lean towards this layout. This way I can just add the bottom 3 buttons and keep what's already there.

Anyone do something like this?
TheShaner:
This is all totally personal preference of course, but I prefer a Mortal Kombat / Capcom Mix

drventure:
Second vote for NEPs curved layout, it just seems to fit better. But, like the shaner said, it's all a personal pref. Try mocking up a layout and seeing if it works well for you.
paigeoliver:
A lot of people find the curved layouts harder to play on. They didn't exist on American arcade machines until Street Fighter IV came out and even that has a super mild curve, not the wicked half rainbow that a lot of people here are building. The panel on my main machine is one that someone else built with the exaggerated curve and I wish it wasn't that way, I really do.

Also, if you didn't live and breathe Neo Geo fighters back when they were current then you will probably find that putting the 4th Neo Geo button on the right works a whole lot better than putting it on the left does. The Neo Geo button layout wasn't designed for optimum usability it was designed to squeeze a 4th button in on existing 3 button Japanese cabinets and SNK just copied that over to the American layout.

Here is mine:



I had a limited width due to the nature of my cabinet design and wanted two players plus track ball, spinner and dedicated 4-way.

I wanted the ability to play any game, but don't play fighters as a rule so went with less curved and three buttons on top. I haven't played the bottom four buttons since I started being able to use the machine.
