Ok well I think I figured out CP layout. This gives me 7 buttons for each player (Neo Geo Friendly), each player will have a coin & player button. 3" Trackball in the center, however I chose to minimize buttons and not wire mouse buttons. Above trackball a 4 way, Arknoid Spinner (Already owned), and 2 buttons for 4way play (spaced a little further apart, similar to 80's games) Along each side will consist of 2 buttons (both black) Left side (left flipper, and shazaaam dedicated) Right side (right flipper, and fire pinball) I intend on wiring admin buttons to P1 buttons 4-7, making a small direction card for bezel. The reason I chose to go all blue is because I intend on using standard pushbuttons with LEDs, from examples I've seen blue looks the best in my opinion. Assuming I follow the plan above, is there anything I left out or should ad? Being my first MaMe build I don't want to go too detailed, but make it worth the build. Thanks Squeeky |

At my house, playing Golden Tee, Shuffleshot, and World Class Bowling - both your spinner and 4 way are in the way of the trackball path. Also, where are the pinball nudge buttons? How wide is this control panel? Seems a bit wide for pinball. I realize your going for symmetry, but anything above the trackball is begging to be hit. |

Well I did not plan for pinball nudge buttons, as if the ball is stuck I could set a P1 button for nudge and move my hand back. I don't really play pinball, but I didn't want to leave out the option. Control panel size and shape is based off Knievel's which is 34" wide. The actual CP box is only 33" |

The nudge feature is similar to bumping the machine. If I remember correctly, the game offers a few nudge options. Nudge from the right, left and center. Maybe someone more familiar with the button layout can clarify. As for the spinner and 4 way - they are in the way of the trackball. Only a matter of time before someone cranks their hand on the spinner or 4 way. |
