shmokes - Thanks for clearing it up for all, that is exactly what the problem is.

Tiger-Heli - That is a great idea, now where on earth can I find some of these?  Anyone have 8 they want to send to help a brother out?

I'm pretty sure Home Depot or Lowe's will have them.  You might want to print out the drawing from the other thread so they can tell what you're talking about.

Lilwolf:

I'm still sticking with my answers..

make a crap control panel and test it out before touching yours.  You might find that you get it wrong the second time.

I've redone my 4 way once (and its currently scrapped).  I redid my 2 player 8way a few times (6 buttons, then 8, then 7... now I want to move the 7th).



electricd:

I don't understand what working on a scrap panel will do for me?  I just need to rotate my sticks about 10 -15 degrees so it is parallel with the 1 and 2 player controls?  Even if I use a scrap panel and get it right, I still have to duplicate it again on the production panel so I will just cut the first step!  :)

What LilWolf means (and it's not a bad idea) is if parallel with the P1 controls is not ideal for you, you would then have a panel with eight holes for each joystick and not be able to reorient them any more.

What you might want to do is mount your controls to cardboard or foamboard and test that on the cabinet and make sure you're happy with your proposed change, then modify your current CP to fix it.
