I want to start building my CP, but I seem to have come up with a lot of design problems. I'm trying to figure out Adobe Illustrator, so I hope to be able to post a picture soon...for now, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. A) If using the Project Arcade plans, and wanting to build it for 4 players, how deep can you go with the CP? The plans call for 18", by 34" (I think)...could you go as deepr as 20"? I was thinking 48"x20". I'm having problems figuring out what to do about 2 player double joystick games (like Karate Champ). I've read some posts, and I'll have to work on that a bit more. B) What is the general prference for coin buttons? Should they be on the CP, under the CP, or use a shifted key? I think my personal preference would be, not to see them. C) Any suggestions on my controls. I plan on picking up a spinner, and adding a dedicated angled 4-way stick for Congo Bongo, and Q-Bert. So far, I have the following parts: 1 - ipac4 2 - T Stik Plus 1 - Optipac 1 - HAPP 3" trackball A bunch of HAPP supers A ton of buttons, of every colour. |

I recently went the 49-way route and find this to be a good solution. I would be tempted to sell your other sticks and go with 49-ways. That way you could play Karate Champ using the player 1 & 2 joysticks set to 4-way mode. You also wouldn't have to have more than 4 joysticks on the panel for a 4 player setup. You could play two-player Smash TV with the Player 3 & 1 joysticks and the Player 2 & 4 joysticks. I know not everybody wants to do it this way, but it sure is a nice way if you are doing just one panel and not going to have multiple control panels. |

On the coin buttons- In my opinion, the coolest way to do this is to actually rig up a real coind door that works. Alternatively, I would definitely NOT put the buttons on the front edge since people will always bump them. I would put them on the top of the panel or possibly at the bottom of the bezel. Another alternative is putting one in front of each player area. |

I was thinking of mounting them under the CP towards the front, where it overhangs the cabinet.... |
