4 way control panel help

Hi,

I've read threads on control panels but can't find the information I'm looking for.

I'm only interested in the classic 4 way games for now and I want to build a control panel for these. I know most 4 way games used 2 buttons but very few used 3 and 4 buttons.

My question is what is the best joystick and button placement and layout to play all the classic 4 way games?

Simple diagrams will be very helpful

Thanks




GGKoul:

The Ms Pac-Man/Galaga Replacement Joystick is probably the best 4 way joystick out there. Can't think of many 3 button 4 way games.. but i think 3 buttons will be more then enough.

I would do a 4-button Neo-Geo layout.
That will let you play ALL 3-button games using the three that are in a row, and 4-buttons with a finger on each button.

6 buttons in a Stargate layout.


Gives you an authentic Defender layout and enough buttons to do anything else.

Could someone do a quick diagram of this  joystick and button layout please?
