Not bad, nice and simple layout.

Sorry about the pic now working. I don't know what happened.
About the control panel, I only wanted to show the button layout so people could coment on it. Later, I'll show it with the background picture.
I'm trying to design a very simple, yet useful layout, with only the minimal controls needed. The size of the panel will be equal to those of the MK games.
eightbit:
If you want a minimal button layout eliminate the administrative buttons. If you want the administrative buttons I'd move them to all one side so that they are easily reached by player one.
You didn't mention what you want to use it for. If its only for Mame you can totaly eliminate extra buttons and just use a key combo for the extra functions.

Sorry about that. I want to make it as authentic as possible to a real Midway Mortal Kombat II cabinet. That means no more buttons than I need. That's why I have the non-gameplay controls on the side. But I want to keep the "pause" button in the middle to both players can easily reach it.
I would like to have people use tokens to use my machine. And I wouldn't want them to have access to anything more than: Exit the game, Pause, Save, and Load.
On the button layout: I want to play Street Fighter as well as MK, so I have the SF button layout.
