I am finally taking the plunge. I am going to build a pedestal setup, much like uiucphoenix's quad panel - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=133516.0;attach=303208;image. I would love any feedback from all of you pros out there. Requirements: Emulation - Arcade, Atari, NES, SNES 4 player support (games - TMNT, X-Men, Simpsons, Gauntlet, Sunset Riders, 2P Smash TV, NBA Jam) Spinner support (games - Arkanoid, Tempest, many Atari games incl Kaboom!) Light Gun support (games - Terminator, Area 51, Time Crisis, Virtua Cop, House of the Dead, Ghost Squad) Game specific LED buttons - usable buttons illuminate for each game Parts: 1 U-HID 4 U360 Joysticks w/ hard springs (I know four is probably overkill, but I'm looking for ease of install/use) 38 Electric ICE 2 Concave w/ RGB Drive (buttons - 7 each for P1/P2, 4 each for P3/P4, Start and Coin for all players, 5 pinball, 3 admin) 2 AimTrak Light Guns 1 SpinTrak w/ knob and flyweight ...and then of course all of the wiring, a mid-range PC, and LED/LCD TV Not including: Trackball - I don't care for the majority of trackball games Flight Stick - I don't care for flight games Pedals - I'll just use buttons and the spinner for racing games since I don't play many of them Any comments or suggestions before I place my order? |

Sounds good to me. Keep in mind that your analogue joys will work great for car and flight games as well as the spinner for driving. |

Be sure to post pictures of your control panel design! Everyone would love to see :) |

I'll definitely post pictures once I start building...hopefully this month. |

Anyway, good luck. A pedestal gives you a lot of freedoms with space but, even so, losing the trackball will keep the size down a bit. If you're using the P3/4 (outer) sticks for Smash TV, et al, keep in mind you will have to keep them somewhat reachable and in-line with the inside sticks. |
