That looks ---smurfing--- terrible.
I am getting ready for work and that collage just wrecked my whole day.
Artwork should have a theme and a purpose.
Please start over.

Haha...I saw the CP photo and started laughing then thought "Has Mike seen this?" LOL

Same here.  I doubt Mike even made it to work.

Sarcasm?  I don't do sarcasm.  Do what you want, man.  Lean into it.

This forum shits all over everything and that's why it's been on life support for a decade.

My bad man, based on a few other responses and me not really knowing who's who and their history, I thought you were just being sarcastic.

I'm totally sticking with the collage theme.  In the end, I'm the only one (wife and kids too) that needs to like it...  I'm removing the marquee's and a couple other things.  I post an updated pic later and hope that no one reads it before the night shift.  ;D

I was talking function, not aesthetics.

Turn your nose up at it if you choose, but the wiki will save you from yourself.
Nearly everyone here will advise you to NOT repeat other people's failures.

In trying to make a machine that 'could' play (or look like it plays) thousands of games (which you never will) one ends up making something which still 'does' play the few you actually will regularly- but poorly at that.

If you must spill hundreds of unrelated/incompatible icons onto the machine, save it for side art.

You just said the go read the Wiki without saying what you specifically don't like.  I've read a bunch of it.  I've read builds on here. I built a mockup of the CP with all buttons, joysticks, etc.  I'm orienting the P3 and P4 sticks the "right" way.  Based on that, I have to adjust some button positions a bit.  I'm not doing the aircraft carrier design that so many people ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on.

What about the function is bad?  What failures am I repeating?  I genuinely want to know!  Here's the pic of my mockup....


I'm moving the trackball lower, moving up the P1 and P2 buttons, changing the angle on the P3 buttons a bit, moving the P4 buttons to the left a bit more.  I'm still debating on the spinner position.... I'm not doing flight joysticks, steering wheels, guns or anything fancy.  I think 4 players with a trackball and spinner is pretty reasonable.
