control panel input and help
« on: March 13, 2008, 06:16:02 pm »
hey guys this my project im workign on
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=77072.0

well i test fitted this current control panel but i think i need to do some changing

the control panel is 23"x7"

i need some input

should i just trash this current one and make a box? or leave the 23"x7" and make a new joy and button template?

its kind hard to do combos on this set up so i know for sure i need to space buttosn from joy

any examples or templates i can use for a good fighter 2 player 6 buttons each?

thanks

here is my 2 player control panel and I love it, I think you are on the right track, unless you are going to go 4 players most of the time limit yourself to a 2P board.

My 2 player panel is 16x35 1/2. Here's a pic..



If you like it, here is a link to the Illustrator file. All of the templates are on layer 2. The file is in Illustrator format, but it may open as a PDF (I don't know why). just save it off and rename to .ai
