Well, after a while deliberating, I've decided on doing a 4 player panel, with p360's for p1&p2, and supers for p3&p4 and have decided to add a dedicated 4 way for classics. How many buttons do I need to play most of the classic 4 way games? and what's a good dedicated 4 way? I was thinking of adding this kinda in the middle of the panel.. [joystick] OOO [trackball] OOO [spinner] OOO with 4 or 5 buttons or whatever I need for the 4 way. and i just planned on hooking the spinner buttons and trackball buttons to the same inputs, unless i have extra inputs open. any input? thanks guys. I love this board, everyone's been so helpful so far, and it's nice to not have the "stfu n00b" or troll crap from a lot of the boards (the main reason i only stay on one board usually) |

You don't need more then 3 buttons for the 4 way... actually I think only 2 will do. Ms Pacman / Galaga Reunion is a good 4 way. |

that'd be perfect if i didn't need more than 3. Do any games use a 4way and a trackball, or a 4way and a spinner, or a trackball and a spinner in the same game that'd need different buttons for each? because if I could just tie all three sets of three buttons to the same input, that'd be kinda nice, to be able to use the trackball and either left or right buttons depending on what's comfortable or necessary, |

Honestly, I would just use the P1 buttons for the Trackball and spinner and 4-way, and try to position these controls so that was convenient. 4-way and trackball - not that I know of. 4-way and spinner - Tron (odd 4/8way, but anyways) Trackball and spinner - not that I know of. |

Here's what I'm thinking. Everything is close, but not really to scale. I think the panel and trackball and buttons are, but i couldn't find the measurments on some of the other stuff Plus i'll make sure everything is more symetrical, but this is my basic idea. |
