[Project Announcment] SiMame / War Of The Worlds (Slot Cut for T-Molding)

<< < (4/11) > >>

ratzz:
I've been thinking a lot about my CP, and what I can comfortably fit into the 18" x 6" space I have available to me on the mini style cab.

I would have loved to be able to put a trackball in it, but a 3" may be difficult to fit. I'm not completely sure yet, I'll have to get some measurements together and see.

Here is the pretty basic layout I am considering -- I really don't want things too cramped up.

// Contains:
Happ joystick
Six buttons
Coin button
Player 1 button
Player 2 button

I think I'm going to put a couple of admin buttons on the front of the cab just below the control panel.

ARTIFACT:
Hey this is a VERY cool project ratzz!!! Awesome...

Have you thought about putting in an U360 joystick instead of the Happ, to load all the maps 2/4/8/rotated/analog ways on the fly? ... I really love that true 4 ways Ms Pac Man AND the other games running smoothly :)

Watch out with buttons below the CP ... you don't want people to hit them by mistake. On mine I just have an exit button on the far top left corner of the CP.

GOOD LUCK!! post progress and .... LOTS OF PICS of course ;)

Thanks for that Artifact.

I hadn't thought about a U360, but I've just been to have a look at them, and they look pretty cool.

Obviously, I haven't any experience with joysticks (this being my first cab). How do they compare? I assume that because of the analogue factor, they have 'degrees' of sensitivity(?).  Do they have more travel than other joysticks because of this?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Ratzz  :cheers:

ARTIFACT:
more travel, yes, however you can buy the restrictor kit and choose what you prefer... i like my U360 standard. its the most versatile stick.

take care!

ratzz:
Would there be any benefit in having both installed?
