Additionally... to add to my "Mistakes" 2) Curved Button Layout I believed I was the 1st to try out a curved button layout, as the time when I started my prototype. (That might not be the case... but at that time, I saw no others like it) What felt good on flat cardboard.. using drawn circles... did not feel right when I actually built the panel. My fingers kept getting lost.. and pressing buttons on the very edges.. which really stinks on a concave button. It turns out, that you dont lay your hand flat on the panel... the way that I initially tested things. You bend your fingers at the knuckles. This reduces your finger spread, but gives you greater Leverage power.. for easy rapidfire shots. The only exception might be if you used flat or convex buttons that have low actuation force.. and short travel. As when your hand is flat... your fingers lose a lot of power. Even then... Its easier for the mind to know where the buttons are... if they are in perfectly straight rows. 3) Stubborn Attitude Initially I had poor notions about certain technology... such as "Old Leaf" buttons and joysticks. I can admit it. I made some poor arguments, and was fairly ignorant to the correct use and reasons for using these. The arguments may have helped however... because I learned of "Feathering" ... something I never knew. Id then get my hands on the real deal... and became a convert. Ive also become far more open minded towards things I was not really all that certain about. |

I think a thread where people can show others mistakes they've made so that others can learn from their mistakes is a pretty brilliant idea. This way its not people pointing out things they disagree with that other people have done but mistakes they made themselves. Its in the same vein as the the "post your first MAME cab thread" but I knew the chuff wouldn't last. It is inevitable. EDIT: Typo city :/ |

"Haven't checked the new replies in the Mistakes I've Made thread lately. Lemme check it out." A mistake I made was getting the software side playable before making much progress on the cabinet. |
