| Looking for advice on my 4-player & 2-player cp designs |

Hi, I'm looking for advice on control panel layouts I designed. |
| Tiger-Heli:
Consider swapping the 3" trackball and 4-way E-stick positions. This give more symmetry for marble madness and puts the 4-way front and center for Pac-Man, etc. (Worse for golden tee). Not sure how different size trackball will affect 2-p Marble M. . . Hopefully others will be more helpful. |

I like your thinking there. I'll see if I can make that work. My guess is that that 4-way stick is going to get the most use (compared to the spinner and trackballs), so it really should be centered up more. Thanks for the input! Anyone else? |

It's a modified 4-way top-fire, that will barely hit the diagonals. The restrictor on it keeps it from acting as a TRUE 8-way, which prevents zig-zagging in the lightcycle stage. With the exception of a 49-way, with a GGG adapter, Tron will not play well with any other single stick. You can program a 4-way, and an 8-way to control the game simultaneously however. That will let you pick which stick to use on which stage, allowing 4-way only in the lightcycles, and 8-way in the other stages. |

2 cents worth: From what you are showing on the 4 ply panel, dont put items smack up against the wood sides that will be underneath... meaning your buttons up on top... make sure they have a LITTLE more clearance than a 'close fit' |
