Hi all,
I've been reading and thinking about the controller I want to build. I'm thinking about building a two player controller out of MDF and having the layout like what I have (horribly) pictured below. (see? I need all the help I can get). What I was thinking was having a two player controller with 6 buttons each and in the center there, having a 4 way controller with single fire button next to it to use on games like Galaga, Pac-man, Space Invaders, and all the others that only require the stick or stick and one button. Do you think this setup will work ok? I know you can buy the switchable 8way-4way sticks, but I kinda like this idea better.
Also, does anyone know what the difference is between the Happs 8 way Competition joystick and the Ultimate joystick is? Does it matter which one I get? Does Happs have the "ball on top" joystick (instead of the bat shaped ones)? I kinda want to go with the red ball 4 way for my center stick.
I think I am going to use the I-pac card to interface this controller with my pc. Anybody forsee any problems with this?
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions guys!!!
