Single Player Panel - What am I missing
markrvp:
Tron's the only game I use a spinner with my left hand. Tempest and driving games I use my right. I won't use this panel for Tron as I'm not mounting a triggerstick. I will make a separate Tron panel. Based on this, my first layout had the spinner all wrong. Paige's placement is better for Tempest.
I like the "idea" of modular control panels more than actually having to change them out. My first preference would be to have a spinning panel like 1up, but I just don't think I could build one without good plans. I would make the three panels exactly like Frosty has his. I would then make a "satellite" rolling cabinet that would accept the bulkier controls like steering wheels and positional guns which you could roll out of the way during normal play.
I want to do too much :'(

FYI, Assault and Karate Champ both NEED 4-way sticks to function properly.
And spinner side is a personal preference.
Tempest and Major Havoc were the only two games that had it on the right in the arcade, and I never liked it there.
All the other games I played had it on the left (Star Trek, Blasteroids, Tron, DOT, Omega Race, etc...)
Also, driving games would be really weird to me with the "wheel" in my right hand.

Spinner on left will seem weird to a lot of people, since most of us grew up using those Atari paddles in their right hand.

Consider the topfire prodigy. It's the perfect stik for tron. It's a 4 way, it's your second 8 way. then you would only need 2 stiks total.
