Build a control panel with 2 8 ways per player, a trackball, spinner and 8 buttons per player. Use USB connections for joypads

It's diminishing returns after that.

Call me crazy but I like this one and yes, 8 buttons per side.

Maybe get rid of the 4 way up top and go with 2 U360s for each player or are they that? I am not sure how they differ is looks...

I don't want to sound like I have my mind set or anything here because I don't even though it may sound like I do sometimes. All your opinions are welcomed and appericated. This sorted of layout is what I had in mind when I came here but I did not think about the two sticks per side... If it is a mistake to build something like this, please let me know the pros and cons.

yeah.

heres whatchu do:

spend WAY TOO MUCH buying all the parts to build that panel.

after a few weeks/months you'll be sick of it then you can rebuild it with what youre going to actually use.
We wont say "We told you so" but I will say I told you so.

LOL! Worst yet; spend all that money on building a full cab and when the novelty wears off.  :'( Don’t think I haven’t thought about it.

I see your point. I will more than likely stick with 2 U360s.

Malenko:

novelty?

if thats the outlook youre in the wrong hobby. Building my MAME cab made me want dedicated machines even more.
My MAME cab doubles as a jukebox and all around emulation machine and part time baby sitter when my nephews are well behaved.
