Hello everyone. First post here, although I've been reading and soaking up all the awesome ideas and info for the past month or so. I've also read the Project Arcade book 2x through (just in case someone recommends it) I'm in the planning stages of my first build and wanted to get some critiques of my CP layout. I just P-shop'd the sample image from the Project Arcade CD to fit my needs. A couple things to point out before you all graciously take a look: * I prefer my 4-way to be used with the right hand (although I know a lot of you put it on the left) * I plan to use the shift/pause button where if I push it and let go the game pauses, but if I hold it will act as a shift for other buttons to be mapped for admin duties. * I'm not 100% sure if I want the Shift/Pause on the CP side edge (as shown) or on the top, possibly to the right of the P1 start button. Thanks in advance! This place rocks! :applaud: |

Looks pretty good to me... |

looks solid. I suggest you print up a full-scale copy with your printer and try it out to see if you like it. |

Thanks so far. What I'm most concerned about is the final placement of the spinner, 4-way and the 2 buttons for those controls. I like the order of them, just not sure if I have the spacing between them and X & Y-axis alignment perfect both aesthetically and functionally. I want this to be as clean as possible. Going for something similar to Cadis' New Fossils cab, but with not so much along the very top edge (no offense to him, its my favorite layout and final product I've seen). |

I'm in the midst of putting together my CP, and my only thought is that I dislike overhangs on the sides w/ pinball buttons, mainly because it doesn't feel pinball-y. That's a really minor criticism, and I know I'm in the minority here (most people have overhangs). Totally depends on how much pinball you're interested in. Just my thought. |
