Please critique: 2 player (4 stick) control panel

Pages: << < (2/2)

Timoe:

I actually made the panel for someone else, so I cant measure it but they are pretty close.  My total width was something like 36"  So its pretty close to yours.

If the x axis centerline of the trackball is in line with the centerline of your joystick then diagonals should not be a problem.

Since most of the forcefull strokes are not side to side, it was never a problem.

edge:

Thanks for the feedback... Here's an updated mock-up.

Changes:
- CP top panel is now 35 x 18 inches.
- I moved the trackball/joysticks down an additional one inch.  Gives me more room from the spinners on top.
- I tightened up the joystick/button spacing.  I forgot that i needed at least 3/4 inch on each side of the control panel in order to fit the side walls underneath.
- I moved the admin buttons away from the START/CREDIT buttons.
- I now have 2 admin buttons on each side (versus one).  This will give me a little more flexibility going forward.

Getting closer? :)

Hello folks.  I'm designing my control board but only plan on having 2 joysticks, one for player 1 and one for player 2.  I would like to play karate champ and crazy climber but don't want 2 joysticks per person.   Is there a way to use the player 2 joystick as the right joystick?  I am going to use an ipac-2 as my interface.  Thanks for any help.

Gmunny...

first off - you may want to start your own thread instead of hijacking this one. The short answer to your question is yes. You can use the player 2 joystick for dual joystick single player games.

A complication in things is the games you mentioned. Karate Champ uses Dual 4 ways and trying to use 8 ways for karate champ doesn't work well. It's the only one I'm aware of using dual 4 ways.
