Well still haven't heard back from the seller yet :( but I'm hoping I will by the weekend. UPDATE: He's just phoned me and hopefully have it by next weekend - Woohoo! Definitely some synchronicity going on with this though as I bumped into an old school friend last night who I haven't seen for 20 years and it turns out he now runs a body shop. So for the price a few beers and the materials he'll be able to knock out three our four panels for me. Nice. ;) For the panels I'm thinking of going with 1. Simple - two t-stick pluses with three buttons each (for all the "classics") 2. Optical - 1 or 2 trackballs plus a spinner and three buttons per player 3. Dedicated - Replica defender panel or as close as possible given the space limitations. Others to follow will likely be game specific panels such as tron and star wars. I think I'll also need player 1 and 2, credit buttons and shift and esc buttons on the front of each panel. I know some people will recommend more buttons per player for the simple panel but I never played a game that needed more than three and I'm not into fighting games such as streetfigher so I just can't see the need. Good suggestion on the cap kit from paigeoliver. If I am going to try this I will have to get someone else to do it as I'm hopeless with a soldering iron and just plain scared of discharging the monitor :o. Budget is not a problem so I may well go with a new hantarex polostar just for the convenience of the display options (i.e. jukebox possibilities at a later stage). Just got to get hold of the thing in the flesh now. Can't wait - just like a kid at Christmas! |
