--- Quote from: BadMouth on December 10, 2013, 11:16:07 am ---Nope. Keep the buttons and joysticks where they were, but rotate the joystick housing so that it is parallel with the back edge of the CP. I know it seems messed up and counterintuitive, but most people are happier with them that way and that's how the original arcade games were done. EDIT: The best policy is always to build a cheap test CP and try stuff out. --- End quote --- Ohhhhhhh, interesting. I will try it out, thanks! |

Without thinking about it, people will intuitively move the joystick the direction they want the character to move or direction they want the fireball to fly based on the screen, not their body position. --- Quote from: Bobgilb1 on December 10, 2013, 12:35:04 pm ---Is that one setup with right handed joysticks and left-handed buttons or am I flipping it over in my mind wrong? --- End quote --- All of them have the joystick in the left hand and buttons operated with the right hand, which is standard. Not sure what you are seeing? |

Going to try and Photoshop a new one here soon --- Quote from: Bobgilb1 on December 10, 2013, 12:35:04 pm ---Is that one setup with right handed joysticks and left-handed buttons or am I flipping it over in my mind wrong?

Thanks for posting that pic it really helped me clarify in my mind what you meant. Edit: I see what I was doing wrong, please TOTALLY disregard my question about the right-handed joystick |

The only thing I would add is not to be so OCD about the P3-P4 buttons. Look at this example here: Nicely done. Why add 4 buttons that will never get used? |
