Yet another CP for you guys to see
CthulhuLuke:
I'd say the 3rd joystick graphic will look the best, although the 2nd graphic looks very cool, it will jump out at your eyes too much probably. Another thing I'd change, but this is just me, is the placement of the last neo geo button, if you want to play your cabinet like a real neo geo cab, then you're gonna want to put the A button on the neo geo to the bottom left of the buttons, so you rest your thumb on it. Here's how I did mine:

On that note, I think its fair to assume that the game companies did a fair amount of play testing themselves. If the buttons weren't in the right spot to begin with, the game companies wouldn't have made the money that they did.

That argument doesn't really hold, consider the NES and Sega Master System. I'm sure sega and nintendo did alot of play testing with thier joypads, and they sure sold alot of them. And yet they are awful by todays standards. Just because their is a standard layout for buttons, doesn't mean its the best layout.
But I am taking your views in, I'm going to be doing a lot of play testing before the final panel is completed.
CthulhuLuke: My original plan was to do that layout, but I decided I didn't want to have to use different ctrlr files for different games. This layout is kinda a tradeoff between the two.
RetroBorg:
I thought I would show you a few I think would look good.
Give you some more options.
