Player 4 stick may obstruct Scorpion's face I'd move the whole image a bit left. |

I'm going to throw this out, just as advice. Take it or leave it however you want. I've never been a fan of control panels that have characters on them, or scenes, or anything like that. When designing my first MAME control panel, I researched a lot of them, & I found that most classic machines have a control panel that made it look like it was an organic part of the machine. Lots of them had boxes on them, lines, shapes, and designs. Look at like Space Invaders, which was that show you which way to move the joystick, or a Defender, which makes it looks like you use it to control the actual ship. Hell, even look at something like a Mortal Kombat, what you seem to like, which doesn't have characters on it at all. The best control panels seem to bring your attention to the controls and how you use them. There's nothing else on there that serves as a distraction. The best place to put characters still seems to be the side art. Just my thoughts. That's how I approach the control panel design process. |

Ya I had a lot of trouble scaling and placing because of their faces. I had it a little to the left and didnt like that it cut subzeros hand off bit will definately play with it some more. So i should go with both top and player button group overlays? This is just a draft phase.... i dont like how the player button group overlay looks so going to redo them but wanted to see what the consensus was on if I should have them or not at all. Yotsuya... I know what your saying. I thought about just throwing a 4 player twist to a stock mk CPO but want to do something different. I did use the mk1 CP button windows for the top button overlay area on mine :P |

Ordered wall mount. Need to pick a tv... Anyone have experience with either one of these? I know sceptre is an offbrand but has almost 3000 reviews.... would probably be safer going with the Sharp though http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sharp-32-class-31-1-2-diag--led-1080p-hdtv-black/5420105.p?id=1219128175325 http://www.walmart.com/ip/SCEPTRE-X325BV-FMDR-32-LED-Class-1080P-HDTV-with-Ultra-Slim-Metal-Brush-Bezel-MHL/25059349 |
