CP Layout review request - 4 player 36" wide

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Yet another CP review request... I'm following Lusid's plans somewhat
but really want to get 4 player action vs trackball/spinner etc.
I saw a lot of CP's that used extra wide panels, but for my
game room was hoping to get something a bit narrower.
The CP box is already cut but not the holes for joysticks/buttons
yet.  Any good feedback welcome, thanks!

Hoopz:

You can read discussion about if P3 and P4 should have their joys mounted at an angle or not.  My suggestion is to do a mockup of what type, play on it and see how it feels.

I tried using angled joys on one CP and found it didn't work as well as I thought.  YMMV.

I would stand at your mockup with a friend, and see if you think playing SF2 or similar games would be comfortable.  36" wide for 4 players will have you all shoulder to shoulder, I think.

Kaytrim:

I found out the hard way.  Make your mock ups before you cut wood.  Otherwise you will have to try and extend the CP or start over. :cry:

Thanks!  Got a few ideas, think I might still be ok here... will post again when more is done.
