Mini-CP Questions

Thanks!  That program is very useful.  The two additional mouse buttons are not admin buttons - I'm putting all of those on the front of the CP to save valuable space.  I thought it might be awkward to use the trackball with my right hand...  Maybe the trackball is a pipe dream for my mini-CP but I'm still going to try.  I'll route the crap out of the top panel if I have to!!  ;D

Witchboard:

Don't forget to give yourself room to mount start buttons from the front as well.  You could end up hitting buttons mounted from the top if your not careful with such a small space.

I'm going to base the front off of bishmasterb's mini-Tron cabinet.  He used 8 buttons on the front of the CP (1P, 2P, coin, pause, exit, power, reset, and menu)...  it's a very nice design IMO...


Witchboard:

Okay.  I didn't know how tall you planned on making your CP.  Mine will be only 5" at the front so I had to do some dodging with my front buttons to avoid hitting buttons mounted from the top.

Lilwolf:

btw, if you don't have much room for a trackball, you might consider a spinner instead.

mainly, many trackball games you need some room to spin it, and need some space to wack it.

But my favorite trackball games, it doesn't matter (play centipede more then any other trackball game)
