I highly advise against a power button on your control panel, it will get pressed accidentally and it will piss you off when it happens. What is the home button for? Do you plan on having a pause button? I'd keep the start buttons away from any admin buttons to avoid confusion. You know what the buttons do, but other people will not. --- End quote --- home button is to exit emulator to emulator menu / maximus arcade (esc. only exit rom) |

I don't quite understand the touchpad thing. Does it do more than just control music? It seems odd to me to be included on the CP. Do you have a coin door? If not, you might want coin buttons. Are you locked in to the size and shape of the CP? As mentioned, its a lot of real estate for what you need for controls. You could probably clip the CP width by 8-12 inches. Also as mentioned...the power button. I'd suggest moving that off the CP altogether. If not, kids will push it on purpose, adults will push it by accident. BTW, is this a pedestal build? |

You don't want anyone reaching OVER Esc to press anything and accidentally exit you out. --- End quote --- home takes to emu menu esc exit rom and still on same emu. (maximus arcade) |
