Number of Buttons for Rotary CP
« on: January 12, 2004, 07:53:07 pm »
If I'm planning on just playing the rotary games with this CP will three buttons for each player be enough?

I *think* so.  I don't remember playing any rotary games with more than 2 buttons in fact, I could be wrong tho...

Star Trek uses four. I guess it comes down to what you feel is really needed. With at least two per player you could play the majority of rotary games.

Yeah I meant the rotary joysticks.  Sorry for not being clearer.  I'm going to use 2 ls30s I picked up off ebay.

Isn't Star Trek a spinner game?

Yes, I believe it is.
