Welcome to the forum!! ;D Personally I went with a 2p control panel with the ability to run virtually any 2p game (except marble madness). I originally was going to build a 4p, but realized that I will never have 4 people at my house playin' games...... |

Man you must all be losers ;D Don't you have 4 people during parties and things? |

There isn't many good 4 player games in mame. You aren't going to be playing those games over and over and over with 4 people. Only when those 4 people are over. |

Thank you all so much for the info. When I really thought about it last night, I came to the conclusion that I really won't have 4 ppl over AND interested in playing the games at one time. For the most part, it'll probably be just me, or me and my gf, with an occassional group over. So with that in mind, I think I'm going to go with a 2p CP and the USB hub like some of you had mentioned. I had already planned to use a USB hub so that I could have only one USB going into my computer, but having it mounted flush to the cabinet is an EXCELLENT idea. I have some questions on my setup now. With this new plan I'm thinking 7 buttons per person plus a joystick, 1 4-way, trackball, and a start/coin for each. I just need help on how many misc buttons most ppl use. Assume I'm not using a shift function (but I may), what would I need? I figure a few buttons for the 4-way, a few for the trackball, and 4 or so for MAME controls (exit, pause, tab, ESC) Am I missing anything? And one last question for now (I said I'd have a lot of questions :P ) How much would I really be losing by not getting a spinner? How many games use it? Would you guys give yours up if you had the chance? I'm looking for personal opinions here, so I can get an idea if I'd be losing precious gameplay or not. |
