Hey guys, working on a new cabinet here. Thought I'd get everyone's input on the CP! Its your usual design. The buttons in the top right and top left are pause x2 and 1P and 2P start. The multiple rings for the CP outline represent a 1" over hang and then the 3/4" width of the wood for the actual CP box. Basically, everything needs to be within the smallest line. Any other quesitons or input, post em! Thanks! Nathan |

I'm no CP expert, but you might want to lay it out on cardboard or something to try it out. Just looking at the picture, depending on how you hold the 4 way joystick your arm could be hitting/pressing the 8 way joystick. If you're like me and you have them both wired into the same inputs you could get some odd results. |

I like the layout, but I prefer mapping pause and esc buttons to other buttons with the shift command. It's personal preference, however. |

Any other admin buttons? You don't need 2 pause buttons on the CP. I'd regroup P1 and P2 start as the left pair above player 1 and then use the other pair for maybe pause and coin. What kind of joysticks are you going to use? Just curious. It looks like a nice layout though. The 4-way might be tough to use though in that location. |

Thanks for the input so far guys. I don't plan on having coin buttons because i bought a coin door but I may reconsider. I know 2 pause buttons is unnecessary, but I wanted some symmetry on the CP, any ideas for the other button if not pause or coin? This is a rebuild from a previous cabinet so I'm going to reuse my Happ competitions for the 8 ways and the 4 way is the Ms. Pacman/Galaga stick. I think you guys may be right about the 8 way getting in the way of the 4 way. I'll have to test that out. What do you think of the distance between the 1P and 2P joysticks? |
