someone trash you vindictivly is another story. Which is basically what
that guy is doing.

Whoa, there -- I'm not defending, supporting, endorsing, or advocating CrapMAME!
Not in the least - read my post again!
I think a site where we can volunteer our worst efforts and comment on where we think they went wrong would be a good idea, not CrapMAME itself. I'm sure we all have project disasters in our closet, and being able to look at them again and laugh is positive, in the right environment (i.e., shared misery ;) )
I don't agree that having public ridicule of someone's cab without their involvement is a good idea at all, and CrapMAME is mean-spirited, which I'm not into at all.
I am into learning and improving with each mistake, and I'm not above laughing at my own screwups.

Ziaoue is a bit more sensitive to this than most, but just because his project is on that site doesn't mean there's stuff that didn't/doesn't make people think of different methods for setting up/laying out their controls. I find his project far from CrapMame worthy, and actually disagree that it's on there at ALL. I think the guy was an idiot for making fun of his CP and is too stupid to see the value it's had to CP design/creation or how the site author could utilize some of the things ziaoe tried/did.
At least the site's author had the balls to post his own project while making fun of someone. I think it's far more cowardly to make fun of other people's projects without putting your own project out there for a critique. Laugh all you want, but if you don't have the balls to show everyone what you were able to accomplish, it just makes you a ---kitty--- and a chickenshit one at that.

Kev, my appologies, as I missed when you said: "type site," :-[
I agree with you entirely.
Dave, firstly, pacmats extra 1ft away from the monitor is Not that bad at all. Its not
like your an extra 5 ft away! ::) As far as I can see, the monitor is very visible from
that distance. ITs not like its a LCD with limited view angle.
Your "holier than tho" attitude is mostly in line with the guy who made the crapsite.
You THINK your opinion is the end all to be all. You must be the BYOAC-GOD??!!! :notworthy: ::)
All that youve said is Pure OPINION, not fact.
finite number of ways of doing it properly. = not true
you don't need to stick every single type of control on a panel = opinion
You will get a great deal of enjoyment from your machine
even if it had nothing but joysticks = hmm, not me...
Your entitled to your opinions, BUT DONT think you can belittle others because you
BELIEVE your OPINION is somehow better than thiers. Such comments as "that is useless" and "And no, it's not better than it being in the middle" ...How do you know?! Have you tried it on the side??! Your opinions are not Fact as you seem to proport them to be. :police: :badmood:
DrewKaree, thanks for the good words. :cheers:
Btw - I could care less that my partial proto got onto the site. In fact, Id feel the same
if it were not. The points remain the same. :soapbox:
And also, the COWARD doesnt have the BALLS to show his real identity. NOR does he
post a pic of his new GODLY DIVINE CAB that beats all the others out there...
:o :notworthy: ::)

First of all, you seem to go on the attack when someone challenges your point of view, and furthermore, you vomit emoticons all over the place. One or two per of those per response next time, just for readability's sake.

I already said it was my opinion in my post. Perhaps if you weren't consumed by some insane rage, you would have remembered that. And I expressed my opinion stongly, granted, but I don't think I'm forcing anyone at gunpoint to agree with me.
I'm sorry I offended your stance on "wacky panels". Go forth and make a 35-inch wide panel with four rotary joysticks, three trackballs (all of which are in a different room), and two pairs of "Paperboy" handlebars (in case you want to play it twice). While you're at it, put your buttons in a circle. Because, you know, the best way to recreate the 'arcade experience' is to deviate as much from it as possible. ;)
Finally, if you read the site (which you probably didn't), you will see that he DID post his cab. But I guess it's better to be filled with venomous anger than to have all your facts straight.
davieboynj:
Xiaou2, if you didn't think there was an ideal panel layout, why would you work so hard to build something with a rotating panel? Why not just throw them haphazardly on a big piece of wood? I think you believe in ideal layouts more than most (not a bad thing :) ).
And if you really believe this:

why would you even put such a layout on your panel anyways?
Good layout makes your cabinet more like the arcade experience (read: a centered track ball), and minimal buttons make our cabinets more accessible to others and comfortable for ourselves. That is really (i think) what most of us are after. I don't think Dave meant anything other than that.
