I did not mean to sound offensive... I am just saying that I bet I will spend more time setting this up than I ever get to play it, as you know its a lot of work. |

Check out this site. You may be enlightened. http://www.wickedretarded.com/~crapmame/ The u360's are definately the way to go. |

Ok, ok... So I am starting to see the light here. How about k's setup... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=30538.0 Same layout and design but take out the 4 way up top if I am going to go with two 360s, does that make sense? With the 4 way out, move the spinner over to where the two buttons are and then move the spinner to where the 4 way was, sound good? I am 100% sure I want at least a 7 button layout for p1 and p2, so keep the buttons for player 1 and 2 the same but install a 7th button staggered off to the left to create the neo geo layout, cool? I am not sure what he is using the buttons for next to player 1 and player 2 start but I am guessing coins. I would move them down to the sides of the control panel and add two more for pinball. Left and right flippers with bumps, so 4 buttons on each side of the control panel I was thinking...??? Other thoughts... Other than that, maybe 8 buttons for player 1 and 2... I mean really to have that extra button would not get in the way and it would allow me to play certain console games if I decide too. For me, a few admin buttons would be nice but they do not have to be on the control panel up top. Thoughts? |

You are going USB to connect your panel to your cab? IMO a swappable approach is best. Make three panels. Each panel can be the width of your cabinet, no need for it to jut out. 1) 2 joysticks with 7 buttons each, or 8 if you like playstation emulation. Build this panel first. x x x x x x O x x x O x x x x x x x 2) a dedicated 4-way joystick, three buttons, and a trackball, for your classic 4-way games, Centipede, Missile Command, etc. O x x x TB 3) a dedicated Defender joystick, 6 buttons in a Stargate-like layout, a spinner, and a flght stick, for Tron, Defender, Star Trek, Tempest, and so on. x x O SP x x FS x x But that's my opinion, one of many. |
