If I was building a pedestal again, I would delete the 7th button for player one and two. I would also delete the trackball. Keep going with the build. You'll get there. |

I have a straight 6-pack with the 7th offset and I've found that to be the most useful for me. |

Dr. Zero posted this a while back which is really valuable if you want a proven design. http://www.drzero.org/videogames/dynamo/ HS-15 model is what I'll be building for myself. There are plan and profile drawings in the pdf there to help with dimensions, and the control panel width for that is 36". Looks really easy to build as 2 or maybe even 3 modular pieces to be managable when apart and really stable when bolted together. No need to reinvent the wheel (unless you want to have to put 3 concrete blocks inside your pedestal to keep it stable!) Which would be fine if it works of course! --- End quote --- Thanks for that, I'll give it a more detailed look. For my design, I'm going as minimal as possible. I'm going to hang a big TV on the wall and just have the pedestals/CP with the PC and that kind of stuff on board. Much easier to move around with no disassembly.... I've been thinking of putting speakers into it somewhere, but might just get a soundbar instead. I have an old sub I can use as well. Plenty of time to change my mind on all that! |

Mainly want the trackball hoping I can play some golden tee on it.... even if it's an old version. I'm sure there are plenty of other games to use it for. |

Mortal Kombat uses just the six buttons. I just found I never used the 7th as I have not really played neo goo games on the original back in the day and therefore haven't sought four buttons in a row. I also found a trackball is a waste of space on my rig. Just a personal preference. I was warned about it before my build and didn't listen either. But I now regret it. Just a personal choice. Keep building!! We're watching! |
