what kind of "compromises" will I have to make if I use a KeyWiz. Also, is it any harder/easier to work with compared to the others? |

trouble signing into the forum at home? I was having alot of trouble after I rebuilt my computer, all it ended up being was enabling cookies from this site...fixed everything. as far as 2 plr / 4plr goes, I personally don't like the idea of having to change out my cp all the time for various games as I have 2 bum knees, and a bad back...sovineers of military service. If you work on a tight budget, make the budget fit a 4 plr cp, better to have the 4 plr available when you do want it...it won't stop you from playing 2 plr games, but if you make a 2 plr panel, you are going to feel like quite the schmuck when you do have friends over and want to play thos 4 plr games and can't. |

Another good alternative I've been considering myself is mouting a small USB hub fush to the front of the cabinet, underneat the CP. That way, you can have a nice clean 2player CP (most of the 4p or uber panels look either busy or sloppy) and can plug a couple of cheapy gamepads in for player 3/4 should you happen to have people around. Going 4p with no specific intention in mind pointlessly doubles the cost of your CP, and limits the number of cabinet options you have if you're not building from scratch. Also, I've seen a lot of people who jammed a 4 player CP onto the front of a 19" arcade cabinet, and they just look plain silly. |

Ok, my usual speech about this. You sure you want 4 players? You think you can play with 4 people with the few 4 player games on a regular basis? My solution, 2 player cp but 2 usb ports for gamepads just in case. |
