Make two or three swappable panels instead of trying to cram everything on one.

If you want 2 players side by side then DON'T BUILD A MINI CAB.

That would seem pretty common sense to me. The point of a mini is to save space, but you're not saving space if you have a big wide control panel AND you need room for two people standing side by side.

At the most I think you could have 2 joys and 3 buttons per player and keep the panel fairly narrow.
NO MORE!!

My NEO-GEO MVS is a factory two player cab. It's 24 inches wide with two 8-ways that have four buttons each. It's not in any way crowded when two players play it.

I think my Bally/Midway Power Drive control panel is like 28 inches wide and that was originally 3 player! I have 2 sticks/6 buttons and a 3" trackball and there is still plenty of room for 2 players.

Mines 24" wide too...just about right for 2 players imo.
