Holy crap, another 4 player CP plan

I've played with the angled setup, and it caused no problems. Chalk it up to personal preference, but it's ideal if you can try both ways before deciding.

Problem is that I need to get the plans to a local millsworks company that is doing all of our laminating, cutting the sheets, and "cutting" (not drilling) the holes for everything, so I kind of need to know soon and I am waiting for my joysticks and buttons to show up so I can't do a mock up with cardboard or anything.

I guess I could just line it up so that the joysticks just get a hole cut for the shaft, and then I could route out the bottom myself depending on if I go with an angle or perpendicular to the display...

Something to consider ...

Since you haven't mentionned what type of sticks you're putting in, it is tough to judge ... are you going to be playing any 2-player, 2-stick games (like Karate Champ) ? That would be tough with angled sticks (might be tough with the offests anyway).

Cheers.

Either go with the way that all "production 4 player machine"s were made (all joysticks pointing the same direction... up) OR have the millsworks company rout out a circular area into the bottom of your CP and you can spin 'em any which way you want. :)

No production 4 player machine ever had joysticks slanted like that.
