hi all,

i'm about to begin construction on a pac-man style cab. I'm setting up with a verticle monitor. im trying to figure out a good control panel setup right now. there will be 1 four way joystick, then im not sure what buttons i will need. Pac man just had 1p and 2p. but i am planning on playing a few other games as well. galaga, galaxian, etc... anyone have any input on the amount of buttons that should suffice?

If youre talking about older games 2
if you want to be able to play a lot of different games 4
If you want to play fighters 6 or 7

RayB:

2 buttons will PROBABLY be enough. That way you can play shooters that have a "shoot" and "bomb". BUT note that using a 4-way might make shooters a bit difficult to play properly (1942 for example needs an 8-way).

i think 4 way is right for me, really want to keep this one simple. also, trying to go somewhat inexpensive. I have anough buttons lying around, but anyone know a good deal on a 4 way ball top? and i'll probably use an ipacve.

what do u think of these:

the first one seems like a good deal, i could make 2 cabs out of it.....
