| Anyone ever build a 3 TB and 4 spinner control panel |

Recently I have been thinking about building a dedicated panel for some 3 or 4 player racing (spinners) and 3 player TB games. Think Demo Derby, Championship sprint, Indy Heat, Super Off Road, Warlords, Rampart etc. Anyone seen one before? Please post some links to the pic's. Looking for ideas of what works and what does not. I would keep my current CP and swap this in and out based on my gaming mode. |

I've been putting serious thought into MAME'ing a Leland Super Offroad into a 3-Player Optical Racing cab myself, lately. The boards are notoriously unreliable and full of custom IC's, so I don't feel bad about making one more robust. :) Hoping others chime in. I don't think I've ever seen a multi-racing panel. |

Seems like a good idea for "those" types of racers (top down, multiplayer). I was thinking of doing something similar, removable panel and all. I started going thru KLOV looking at what games use more than two spinners or trackballs. Maybe start with a game, like Rampart, and base the design on it with extra stuff added? FYI, 2 spinners can be used on the Famicom version of Arkanoid II, not sure if any other version is 2 player simultanious. |

Here's my (very rough) MS-painted mock up of my idea for a 3 TB/ 3 spinner panel. I have the buttons on there in a Toobin arangement so I can use it for that too. |
