4-player control panel layouts
Silver:
The 'issue' with SmashTV/Total Carnage is that as they use two 8-way joysticks for each player, and most 4 player CP have the outer joysticks (for players 3 and 4 ) rotated at a 45 degree angle. So the direction 'up' on the outer joysticks is different to 'up' on the inner joysticks - this makes it very hard to player these dual joystick games.
It looks like UncleT's 4 player layout has all joysticks the same orientation (I could be wrong) so there is only an alignment difference. I imagine that this would be fine for smash tv et al, as its simply 1 hand higher up the CP than the other, but 'up' is the same for both CP's.
Oddfeld:
There are joysticks that can be rotated 45
