NEW PLAN! now being scaled way down because of my procrastination so I can complete it in a month. the panel has 23" of space (inside) widthwise, and 12" from front to back. I think with a little work I can make it usable without a box and have two sticks (probably happ competitions, or supers) and 7 buttons a piece in the layout I had previously designated for my player 1 and 2. should it fit comfortably? I think I might be able to make it fit, also, how many admin buttons will I need? I'm assuming one (for shifting? I can't remember, it's been too long since I last worked on this project) but in addition to that I want one pause button (shift function would be exit) and p1, p2 start, does that sound doable? |

I too wanted a 4 player control panel especially for NBA jam and blitz but I have a major requirement for robotron, smash tv and total carnage... The issue I have now is I angled players 3 and 4 (like your design) and I cannot play the "dual controller" type games since the second controller is not at the same angle :cry: Back to drawing board... PS: ignore the haters for the Frankenstein design, it actually looks good with the right artwork. |

Instead of a franken panel with everything under the sun on it I would consider a modular design or at the very least a cp design that would allow you to easily swap out cp tops with various setups on it. |

I like the frankenpannel design, and would love a modular design, although my time is short. I will do this cab in stages and the first stage is to make it presentable by penguicon (may 1st) and to do that I want to limit myself by not building a box, but using the cab as-is, if I can, so with the space requirements outlined in my last post can I get some opinions on the proposed 2 player panel? next stages should involve larger/swapable panels, but for now, smaller is easier, and faster |
| abzman2000:
here is the layout I designed, it should be to scale and is almost perfect, I printed, cut, combined, and scanned a couple of pdf layouts I found online somewhere to make the one I think I want. Disregard the button on top, start buttons will be placed independantly of the player layouts. |
