Proper joystick placement on 4 player CP
Veinman:
Unless your monitor is going to be quite a ways away from the control panel, don't go wider than 48". Players 3 and 4 would never be able to see.

I was just going to use the Project Arcade plans, and have 27" TV...I'll have to find some cardboard and try 60"...it's only one more foot, but I think it's needed...

No it doesn't.
You just don't know any better, so you THINK it plays fine.
Karate Champ, and Assault, HAVE to have 4-ways to play properly.
They lock up when any diagonal is hit, causing the controls to be semi-functional at best with an 8-way.

OK...that's an interesting approach...
Let me clarify..."I" have never had a problem with controls locking during this game...at least not to the point of it being noticeable to me...maybe with a new CP I would...as I said, I'm not worried about that...
I'm not exactly sure how you can make statements regarding my knowledge or what I think...that aside, I'm not really interested in benighted comments...feel free to make them in reference to someone else...

I don't really care what YOU want to play it with.
I'm just trying to keep you from leading someone else astray.
They'll see your comment about how it works fine for you, and think it will work fine for them as well.
You need to remember that alot of replies to "your" questions will be directed at others coming along behind you, not necessarily at YOU.
You asked for suggestions about a Karate Champ CP.
My suggestion is get four 4-way Wicos, and build it a separate CP.
It will flat suck with anything else.
As to how I can make statements about your knowledge, I've got 20 years of experience with the game, and your "knowledge" is contrary to everything I've experienced.
That makes me question your experiences.
Have you ever played the game in a dedicated cab, or just in MAME?
If so, have you played it RECENTLY in a dedicated cab?
I can't believe that you would say that it "plays fine" with 8-ways, if you had ever played it with 4-ways.
