| Proper joystick placement on 4 player CP |
| (1/5) > >> |
| Sinner:
I'm in the middle of planning a 4 player CP...I would like to be able to use the joysticks to play 2 player Karate Champ...does anyone have any suggestions about control placement to accomplish this??? So far I have a 3" HAPP TB, 2 TStik Plus joysticks for player 1 and 2, and 2 HAPP supers for player 3 and 4... I plan on picking up an Oscar V2 with the push/pull option and some sort of rotary joystick... Is there anything else I need, as far as controls go? |

You could take a look at the Slikstik panels as they tackle most of these probs, also have a good root about in the hall of fame for inspiration. Don't sacrifice useability for completeness. Mainly its a question of getting it to look neat and still be accessible and comfortable. If you really need a control for every occasion then a two tiered panel looks great. Other than that you could consider building two swappable panels so you have one main panel for general two player use with a trackball and spinner etc, and another monstrous 4 player panel with all the additional sticks/buttons etc that you can fit when you really need all the extras or on the odd occasions when you want to play a 4 player game. |

Karate Champ used four 4-way joysticks. |

I was at the hardweare store yesterday, and I pulled out a piece of 5/8" MDF...it was 48" long by 24" wide...I got my GF to stand next to me to see how it would be for 4 players...it's way too small...if the side were angled, then it would be fine, but I would like to make it straight, so I can use the controls for 2 player Karate Champ... I've looked at tons of examples, and it's all a blur to me now...I thought 48" would be enough...now I'm thinking it will have to be 60" or more... What is the suggested length for a 4 player CP with TB and spinner?? |
