--- Quote from: harveybirdman on August 31, 2015, 11:50:11 am ---I made a six button panel for my MAME setup, buttons five and six are almost NEVER used.  Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, just aren't that fun because I suck hard at them.  There is nothing fun about reaching over a  worthless row of buttons to play the games I do play.

Takes 10 seconds to remap controls the first time you open a game so that you don't have dead buttons on your control panel.

Some console versions are enhanced over their arcade counterparts. Like Street Fighter Alpha 3 on PSX, world tour mode and all that jazz.




Ok so mistakes Ive made:
Had control panel at a terrible angle. Controls were at like 30* (as in fingers almost an inch higher than palms) unpossible to play for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Used cheap knock off parts , spend the money on the right sticks and buttons, its WORTH IT
Marble contact shelf paper, `nuff said
I once wrapped all my wiring in electrical tape.

I just laughed and everyone in the office looked at me.

Oh man, I know I'm low on the experience totem, but I've got a couple.

Forgot the depth of buttons when laying out my CP.  Had player start buttons on the front of the CP...  that collided with the sticks. Had to drill a new panel with buttons moved like a 1/4".

Even if a screw isn't long enough to penetrate the panel, it will still extrude a dimple on the other side...  sand that down or it looks like ass when you paint.  :(

3/4" MDF is NOT actually 3/4"...  Therefore 3/4" T-mold has a slight overhang...

Pay attention to wire routing.  I've got speaker wires running right next to power supply wires.  So I have a constant low hum in the sound.
