--- Quote from: pixelObsession on June 24, 2013, 08:28:36 am ---Thanks for the responses; @keilmillerjr - Slick looking app there, i'll give it a look when I start tweaking my software. Although isn't holding in a button to trigger other functions and shift key functions already built into the iPac? I'm sure it would be of better use to people with other setups though. --- End quote --- Only shift functions are built into the iPac and other control interfaces. A shift function means that you hold one designated key and then press any other key for a different key to be sent. What my app does is allow you to hold any single key to send a different key, a feature not available with control interfaces such as the iPac. I think shift keys are dumb, and probably wont make sense to the average person. Thats why I came up with my app. |

No not a lot. But then mine isn't finished yet :P But its handy. And I would certainly use it. If the amount of times I pause my tv to go to the loo is any benchmark especially when having a decent drink. Certainly if your cab has 4 players. And if anyone intends to have alcahol |

Most 2 player games before 1993 or so had control panels less than 24" wide. Including many dedicated 2 player fighter setups like Neo Geo and Streetfighter 2. 36" is how wide the panel is on most 4 player cabinets. You don't normally have to worry about making a 2 player panel too narrow, people tend to just angle in a bit. It is only when you move up to 3 and 4 player panels that the sizing becomes more critical. --- Quote from: shponglefan on June 23, 2013, 12:08:57 pm ---27 1/2" is pretty narrow for two players. Personally, I don't like to go below 34-36". --- End quote --- |

Not so great once you've filled out a little bit ;D |

I had admin buttons and some shift functions on my very first cab in 2003. Always during parties I would notice no one in front of the cab and walk over and see that it was on the desktop. Game lists would always get changed and some other funky crap getting adjusted via shift functions. Now I just use player 1 to start a game and player 1 & 2 at same time to exit a game with some sort of coin button on front of my cabs and nothing else. My shift/functionless cabs have survived my idiot friends wonderfully. Bleh, on the pause function. Life can wait till I'm done playing my game. good day. |
