Help me decide which cabinet to use
<< < (3/4) > >>
Kaytrim:
Personally I would use a Happ Competition for your SFII gaming pleasure.  I have the old T-Sticks and switched to the Competitions because it was hard to do the special moves using the T-Sticks.  The Happ stick is set up properly for 8-way games.  The T-Sticks are hard to hit the true cardinal directions while in 8-way mode, they work excellent in 4-way mode though. 

Think about using a swappable control panel system.  There are a few out there.  Look for Doc's Modular MAME.  He has an excellent website documenting how he did his modular panel system.

TTFN :cheers:

I'll look into the Happ Competitions, but do they make them in 8/4 or do they only come in one or the other?

There is no way I have the kind of skills necessary to make a modular setup.
ArtMAME:
The Happs do come in 8 and 4 way but you have to use a different actuator which means taking apart the stick and changing it out which can be a royal pain.

You could do two 8-way Happs for your fighter games and put a 4-way in the middle like this panel that I made:

This panel is laid out to play Asteroids/Robotron/Defender/Pacman/etc... mostly the classic games.  You could lay out your panel to combine fighter style with 4-way games and other games that you would like to play. 
BradC:
That's a good idea to include a 4-way in the middle there. Does it just get wired up to the same place as the first Player's 8-way joysitck? I'll be using an I-PAC2 in the cabinet.
ArtMAME:
I am using an IPAC also, and I just wired the sticks separately to different inputs.  I am pretty sure you could wire them  both to the same inputs on the IPAC.
